Configuring a dedicated streaming connection
In addition to the default connections, BGAN LaunchPad enables you to configure and open one or
more dedicated streaming connections (you can associate one of the icons shown above with a
dedicated streaming connection). These are assigned to specific applications, for example Win
Media, to ensure that the connection for this application’s data is not shared with any other
application.
You must open a pre-configured standard or streaming connection (called a primary connection)
before you can open a dedicated streaming connection (secondary connection). This is because
each dedicated streaming connection creates a virtual IP data connection which shares the IP
address of the pre-configured standard or streaming connection.
For details on configuring dedicated streaming connections, using Win Media as the example
application, refer to “BGAN LaunchPad User Guide”.
Traffic Flow Templates
Each dedicated streaming connection is associated with a Traffic Flow Template (TFT). A TFT,
also called an Application Template, assigns a priority to a selected type of traffic in order to
maximize performance.
BGAN LaunchPad supports the following pre-configured TFTs, any one of which can be selected
when you configure a dedicated streaming connection to ensure that the defined traffic has its own
dedicated connection:
• FTP
• QuickLink
• QuickTime
• Real Media
• Streambox
• WinMedia
If you wish to want to define your own TFT for another application, contact your Service Provider for
assistance.
To open a dedicated streaming connection:
a. Select the Data tab in BGAN LaunchPad.
