Automatic Contexts
This web page allows you to use Automatic Context Activation
(ACA) in
two
different ways;
One way is to use a static IP addresses in the TE device so
you can establish an automatic PDP context with any QoS
that is offered by the network (upper half of the web page).
The second way is to use DHCP IP addresses so you can
establish an automatic standard PDP context for any TE that
connects via DHCP to the UT (lower part of the web page).
There are also two ways to set the ACA whether you choose
Static or DHCP. You can choose whether the context should
be activated as soon as the UT detects the device (“ON”), or
if the context should only be activated when the TE attempts
to send data to the satellite link (“Data”):
o
“Always ON”: Select ON in the drop down menu
if you want the context to be On all the time.
o
“Data”: Select Data if you want the context to be
activated when the TE attempts to send data to the
satellite link
When using “Data” ACA, if the context is ever deactivated, it
will be reactivated when more data is sent.
The “On” option will always reactivate the context if it is
deactivated, even if data is not sent by the TE.
Static IP Automatic Contexts:
You can configure your own
range of static IP addresses and QoS’s to use with a static
automatic context.
To turn on a particular range of static addresses, select “On” or
“Data” from the drop down list and choose a range of addresses,
low and high to use (e.g. 192.168.128.200 to 192.168.128.202)
or you can leave the defaults (192.168.128.200 to
192.168.128.209).
Next, select the desired QoS for that range of IP addresses (e.g.
Standard
). The APN listed is the default APN read from the
SIM card (bgan.inmarsat.com). If your SIM is provisioned for
more than one APN, then you can select a secondary APN from
the drop down list.
