Managing LAN network users
Introduction
The network management system
With the built-in router functionality the system offers a flexible use of the
data channel of the BGAN service. You can configure the use of the data
channel by defining network user groups and profiles. The following picture
gives an overview of the parameters involved.
The network user group you belong to is determined by one or more of the
following:
• the IP address of the device you are using
• the MAC address of the device you are using
• the LAN port you connect to
A connected IP device will automatically be assigned to the default network
user group, if it is not specified otherwise.
For specific purposes like video streaming, a server on the network, a fixed IP
address on the connected device or changing the startup mode of a
connection, you must set-up network groups with specific primary and/or
secondary profiles. How to do this is described in the following sections.
