Chapter 4: Using the web interface
Setting up the interfaces 59
You can now access the mail server from the Internet, using the public IP address of
the terminal.
If you do not know the IP address, you can look it up in the
DASHBOARD of the
web interface under ONGOING DATA SESSIONS .
Setting up the LAN network
Network user groups
Two network user groups are available to the users of the terminal:
•
The Default group : By default, all users belong to the Default network user
group, which provides a shared Standard connection to the Internet using the
built-in router functionality of the terminal. This group does not allow Bridge
mode.
• Group 0 : A second group used for Bridge mode connection (Bridge mode is an
exclusive connection, with NAT disabled in the terminal). With Group 0 the
Internet connection is automatically established when the system is ready for
transmission.
If you want to have a direct Bridge mode connection use this network user
group.
Necessary steps when managing network users
Managing your LAN network users includes the following steps:
1. Defining a network user group. See the next sections Setting up a Bridge mode
connection or Setting up the Default network user group .
The network user groups determine settings such as:
• IP addressing (Static/Dynamic)
• Internet access mode (Router Mode/Bridge Mode/No Internet Access)
2. Identifying a network device. See Viewing network devices on page 67.
The network devices are identified by their IP address, MAC address and
(optionally) device name.
3. Associating the network user group and the network device. See the next
section Setting up a Bridge mode connection , step 13.
The network classification table determines which devices should belong to
which network user group. When a network device is connected, the terminal
runs through the network classification table to check if the new connection
matches any of the entries in the table. When a match is found, the terminal
establishes a packet data connection (PDP context) with the settings defined in
the belonging network user group, and the device is ready for use with the
terminal.
Note
For most purposes, the default setup is sufficient.
When you access the LAN network settings you are prompted for the
Administrator user name and password.
