OPTION

DEFINITION

WAN Interface

Enter the WAN interface required. Options are Ethernet WAN, ADSL or Wireless WAN (Mobile Broadband).

Country

Enter the Country where the Mobile Broadband (MBB) 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.

Service Provider

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 Number

The string value that needs to be dialed to make a mobile broadband (MBB) connection. *99# is the default

string.

Username

If your Mobile Broadband connection requires a username enter it in here.

Password

If your Mobile Broadband connection requires a password enter it in here.

Authentication Type

Select the authentication type used by the MBB connection. If you are unsure what this is select the default

Auto option.

Primary DNS

Enter the Primary Domain Name Server address to be used by the MBB connection. This is an optional field.

Secondary DNS

Enter the Secondary Domain Name Server address to be used by the MBB connection. This is an optional

field.

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.
