• Using a Standard IP connection, several users can share the data
connection simultaneously. This type of connection is ideal for TCP/IP
traffic such as e-mail, file transfer, and Internet and intranet access.
The user pays for the amount of data sent and received.
• Using a Streaming IP connection, you get an exclusive, high-priority
connection, ensuring seamless transfer of data. This type of connection is
ideal for time critical applications like live video over IP.The 8 and 16 kbps
connections are well suited for Voice over IP.
The user pays for the duration of the connection (per minute charge).
You can set up various types of connection using the profiles and traffic flow
filters. For further information, see
Using profiles on page 175 and Using traffic
flow filters on page 181.
Working with network user groups
The LAN users of the SAILOR FleetBroadband system can be organized in
network user groups with different setup and different access rights.
The network user group you belong to is determined by one or more of the
following:
• the LAN port you connect to
• the IP address of the device you are using
• the MAC address of the device you are using
Non-administrator users can only see and start/stop profiles configured for
their own network user group.
Using the web interface and administrator password you can configure the
network user groups and network devices. For further information, see
Managing LAN network users on page 143.
Note
For optimum performance it is important that you select the right
traffic class when defining profiles for your connection.
