Interfaces
The terminal has two LAN connectors for connecting computers, Thrane IP Handsets or other LAN
equipment.
For information on how to connect to the interfaces, see the installation manual for the
SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband System.
Router function
The terminal has a router function which routes traffic between the local network connected to the
terminal and network connections or PDP contexts on the BGAN network.
The router contains NAT (Network Address Translation) which allows sharing of a public IP
address between a number of local network users.
For further information on network management, see Setting up the LAN network on page 70.
Working with 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).
If you want to have a direct Bridge mode connection use this network user group.
For further details, see Setting up the LAN network on page 70.
