The 3G Backup Screen

Use this screen to configure your 3G settings. Click

Broadband > 3G Backup

.

At the time of writing, the 3G card you can use in the ZyXEL Device is Huawei

E220.

Note: The actual data rate you obtain varies depending the 3G card you use, the

signal strength to the service provider’s base station, and so on.

Enable VLAN

Select this to add the VLAN Tag (specified below) to the outgoing

traffic through this connection.

Enter 802.1P

Priority

IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic types by inserting a tag

into a MAC-layer frame that contains bits to define class of service.

Type the IEEE 802.1p priority level (from 0 to 7) to add to traffic

through this connection. The greater the number, the higher the

priority level.

Enter 802.1Q

VLAN ID

Type the VLAN ID number (from 1 to 4094) for traffic through this

connection.

Bridge Group

Select the LAN/WLAN port(s) from which traffic will be forwarded to

the WAN interface directly.

Select a port from the

Available LAN/WLAN Port(s)

If the signal strength of a 3G network is too low, the 3G card may switch to an

available 2.5G or 2.75G network. Refer to

3G Backup

Select

connection as your WAN or a backup when the wired WAN connection

fails.

Card Description

This field displays the manufacturer and model name of your 3G card

if you inserted one in the ZyXEL Device. Otherwise, it displays

N/A

.

Username

Type the user name (of up to 70 ASCII printable characters) given to

you by your service provider.

Password

Type the password (of up to 70 ASCII printable characters) associated

with the user name above.

A PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a key to a 3G card.

Without the PIN code, you cannot use the 3G card.

If your ISP enabled PIN code authentication, enter the 4-digit PIN

code (0000 for example) provided by your ISP. If you enter the PIN

code incorrectly, the 3G card may be blocked by your ISP and you

cannot use the account to access the Internet.

If your ISP disabled PIN code authentication, leave this field blank.

Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the ZyXEL

Device features described in this chapter.

Dial String

Enter the phone number (dial string) used to dial up a connection to

your service provider’s base station. Your ISP should provide the

phone number.

For example, *99# is the dial string to establish a GPRS or 3G

connection in Taiwan.

APN Code

Enter the APN (Access Point Name) provided by your service provider.

Connections with different APNs may provide different services (such

as Internet access or MMS (Multi-Media Messaging Service)) and

charge method.

You can enter up to 31 ASCII printable characters. Spaces are

allowed.

Connection

Select

Nailed-UP

if you do not want the connection to time out.

Select

On-Demand

if

you do not want the connection up all the time

and specify an idle time-out in the

Max Idle Timeout

field.

Max Idle Timeout

This value specifies the time in minutes that elapses before the ZyXEL

Device automatically disconnects from the ISP.

Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The ZyXEL Device

can work in bridge mode or routing mode. When the ZyXEL Device is in routing

mode, it supports the following methods.

IP over Ethernet

IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered

across an Ethernet network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed

between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that

they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates

routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells.

PPP over Ethernet

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides access control and billing

functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. PPPoE is an IETF

standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a

broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that

works with existing access control systems (for example RADIUS).

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network

services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service

provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as

it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyXEL Device (rather than individual

computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed,

since the ZyXEL Device does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of

the LANs’ computers will have access.

RFC 1483

RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM

Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). The first method allows multiplexing of multiple

protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit (LLC-based multiplexing) and the second

method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual circuit

(VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to RFC 1483 for more detailed information.
