LAN IP data connections in Multi user mode and Single user mode
IP data connections operate differently depending on whether you are in NAT mode or Modem
mode:
•
If the terminal is operating in Multi user mode, and multiple users are connected to the

dedicated connection, if required.

Ethernet interface over an external router, only one user can request a standard or streaming
IP connection. Dedicated connections are not supported.

connection must be the same as that of the standard or streaming connection already open.
To check the default APN is set correctly:
a. Select
