Setting up the interfaces

You can now access the mail server from the Internet, using the external 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.
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
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.
