Setting up the interfaces

•
Router mode
means the connection will be shared with other users, and the NAT module of
the terminal will make the necessary address translations. Use this mode if one or more
computers are connected using the LAN interface, and the terminal should act as a router.
•
No Internet access
means no connection to the Internet is allowed. Use this setting e.g. for
the IP handset, where an Internet connection is not required. The external voice connection
is still available; this setting only affects communication over the Internet.
Also use this setting if you are going to use Group 0 to establish a Bridge mode connection.

select Common here. You have the following options:
•
Common
. The APN is taken from the Common APN defined under
SETTINGS > Common. Refer to
Setting the common interface settings
•
SIM default

the external network, select this option either here or in the Common setting.
•
Network assigned
. The APN is assigned from the network.
•
User defined
. Type in the APN. APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider.

If your APN uses a password, type in the user name and password provided from the Airtime
Provider.
