OPTION
DEFINITION
WAN Interface
Enter the WAN interface required. Options are Ethernet WAN or Wireless WAN (3G/4G Mobile Broadband).
Country
Enter the Country where the 3G/4G Internet Provider is operating. This field affected such settings as dial and
ring tones, and the prefixes that need to be entered before making a call.
Choose an APN here
Enter your MBB (Mobile Broadband) provider here. Enter the Access Point Name that your MBB (Mobile
Broadband) provider has recommended you use.
APN
Enter the Access Point Name that your MBB (Mobile Broadband) provider has recommended you use.
PIN Code
If your SIM card requires a PIN code, enter it in here.
Dial
The string value that needs to be dialled to make a 3G/4G connection. *99#
Authentication Type
Select the authentication type used by the MBB connection. If you are unsure what this is select the Auto
option.
Primary DNS
Enter the Primary Domain Name Server address used by the MBB connection.
Secondary DNS
Enter the Secondary Domain Name Server address used by the MBB connection.
Connection Control
Select from the connection control options:
Connect on Demand
–
Connect when a MBB WAN interface is attempting to make a connection.
Auto Reconnect (always on)
–
Assume the MBB connection is always on and try to connect if the MBB
connection is dropped.
Manually
–
Connect the Wireless WAN interface only when a manual attempt is made.
MTU
Enter the Maximum Transmission Unit, the size of the largest packet that a network protocol can transmit.
Keep Alive
A mechanism for testing whether the MBB connection is active or not by periodically pinging a remote host.
Multicast
Select whether which version IGMP (Internet Group management Protocol) is required for your WAN
connection. In most cases the Auto connection will suffice.
IGMP Snooping
Select whether you wish IGMP enabled on the WAN connection. IGMP snooping is the process of listening to
(IGMP) network traffic. IGMP snooping, as implied by the name, allows the router to listen in on the IGMP
conversation between computers and the routers. By listening to these conversations the router maintains a
map of which links need which IP multicast streams. Multicasts may be filtered from the links which do not
need them.
