WAN IP address; features such as routing capabilities, NAT, firewall, etc., are being disabled. The
client router that is behind the BEC 6800RUL now obtains a WAN IP address. When

6800RUL is in router mode that it handles a WAN IP address and all features are become available.
ISP Mode:
A list of 3G / 4G service providers that is available.
APN:
An APN is similar to a URL on the WWW, it is what the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS / LTE call.
The service provider is able to attach anything to an APN to create a data connection. Requirements
for APN assignment varies between different service providers. Most service providers have an
internet portal which they connect a DHCP Server to, giving you access to the internet i.e. Some 3G /
4G
operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value of APN is “broadband”.
Username:
Enter the username provided by your service provider.
Password:
Enter the password provided by your service provider.
Authentication Protocol:
Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using
(when acting as a client), or the authentication type you want the clients to use when they are
connecting to you (when acting as a server). When using PAP, the password is sent unencrypted,
while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for challenges at different periods
to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.
PIN:
PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain
systems as a password to gain access, and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the
SIM card until you enter the correct code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times
in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK code will be required from your network / service
provider to unlock it.
NOTE: when the 3G / 4G SIM card is pulled out and then insert into again, you should again press Apply button to
make 3G / 4G connection take effort, or you can Save config and Restart the route to reach the same effort.
