Interfaces
The terminal has two LAN connectors for connecting computers, the IP handset or
other LAN equipment.
For information on how to connect to the interfaces, see the installation manual for
the TracPhone FB150 system.
Working with 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).
If you want to have a direct Bridge mode connection use this network user
group.
For further details, see Setting up the LAN network on page 59.
Connecting to the Internet
Default setup
By default, any IP device that is connected to the terminal belongs to the Default
network user group. It uses a Standard shared IP connection, which you must
manually activate from the web interface. For further information on network user
groups, see Setting up a Bridge mode connection on page 62 and Setting up the Default
network user group on page 60.
