Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Managing LAN network users 80Managing LAN network usersIntroductionThe network management systemThe network management system divides the users of the EXPLORER 727 terminal into network user groups. Each network user group has a profile which determines how the users connect to the Inmarsat BGAN network. The network user groups can allow or restrict certain services for different users.The EXPLORER 727 terminal supports up to 11 different network user groups and global IP addresses. The steps necessary for managing network users include:1. Defining a network user group. See Setting up the network user groups on page 81.The network user groups determine settings such as:• QoS (Standard/Streaming),• IP addressing (Static/Dynamic)• Internet access mode (Router Mode/Bridge Mode/No Internet Access)2. Identifying a network device. See Managing network devices on page 85.The network devices are identified by their IP address, MAC address and (optionally) device name.3. Associating the network user group and the network device. See Using the network classification table on page 87.The network classification table determines which devices should belong to which network user group.Access to the network management settingsAccess to the network management settings requires an Administrator password.The Administrator can create and manage network user groups and set up a network classification table defining priorities for devices, network groups and LAN ports. CAUTION! All user connections to the LAN interface may be affected when you change the settings below, including your own current connection to the web interface!
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Managing LAN network users 81Setting up the network user groupsOverviewA network user group, in this context, is a group of network users sharing the same Quality of Service profile and network parameters.There are 11 configurable network user groups.

The first entry (and only the first entry) that matches the properties of the connected device is applied, meaning that the connection will be using the settings of the user group assigned to that entry.The Default user group is always last, so it is only used if none of the other entries match the properties of the connected device.To change the priority of an entry, click the up or down arrow next to the entry.
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Managing LAN network users 90Definitions for network termsAPN (Access Point Name)The APN is used by the network user to establish the connection to the required destination network. This means that the terminal must know the APN in order to be able to connect to the destination network. APNs are provided from the Airtime Provider. They may also be defined on the SIM card.Header compressionThe Header of a data packet contains control information belonging to that packet. The information in the Header can take up a considerable amount of bandwidth. In order to save bandwidth, you can use Header Compression, meaning you compress the header information, leaving some of the information out.You can select whether or not to use Header Compression for your data transmission.•Header Compression enabled: Recommended for low-noise applications.If you select Header Compression enabled, you will be using less bandwidth on header information, leaving more bandwidth for the actual payload. However, if the environment is noisy, the system will have to retransmit information, and you may end up using more bandwidth than without Header Compression.•Header Compression disabled: Recommended in noisy environments.If Header Compression is disabled, the system will be less sensitive to noise.ProfilesA profile is a collection of Quality of Service (QoS) settings and other settings defining the mode in which data is transmitted on an interface. For example, a profile is used to define whether a connection should be a Standard or Streaming connection.You can select between a number of predefined profiles or define your own profiles for your data transmission.You need an Administrator password to define profiles and traffic flow filters.NAT (Network Address Translation)NAT enables a local-area network to use one set of private IP addresses for internal traffic and an assigned or static IP address for external traffic. The built-in NAT module in the terminal makes all necessary address translations between the local-area traffic and the external traffic.If more than one user is connected, you must select a network user group with Router mode to use the NAT of the terminal. Note If you have selected more than one profile (one primary and one or more secondary profiles) for an interface, you must define a traffic flow filter before you can establish a valid connection.

Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Administration 101Using profilesWhat is a profile?A profile is a collection of Quality of Service (QoS) settings and other settings defining the mode in which data is transmitted. For example, a profile is used to define whether the connection is a Streaming connection or a Standard connection.You can select between a number of predefined profiles or define your own profiles for your data transmission.If no traffic flow filters are defined, the Primary profile for a user group is used for all traffic from that user group. See What are traffic flow filters? in the next section. For further information on profiles, refer to the 3GPP standard TS 23.107.Selecting the profiles for a network user groupWhen you set up a network user group, you select the profiles to use for that user group. You select a Primary profile and optionally one or more Secondary profiles.For further information on how to select the profiles, see Managing LAN network users on page 80.
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Administration 102Defining new profilesWhen you define your profiles you can select Subscribed for many of the settings. If you select Subscribed, the value given in your Airtime subscription will automatically be used.To define a new profile, do as follows:1. From the left navigation pane, select ADMINISTRATION > Profiles.2. In one of the User defined columns, fill in the top field with the name of your profile.3. In the Traffic class row of your new profile, select a class from the drop-down list.You may select one of the following:•Conversational is real-time two-way conversation. It is primarily used for voice over IP and video conferencing.•Streaming is real-time one-way communication. It is primarily used for video and audio.•Interactive is two-way communication (not real-time). It is used for communication that is not very delay-sensitive, such as web browsing, data base retrieval and server access. Examples of machines interaction with remote equipment are: polling for measurement records and automatic data base enquiries (tele-machines).Important For best performance, choose the right traffic class for your application. In general, Standard data (Background) is best suited for TCP/IP applications, and Streaming data is best suited for UDP traffic, e.g. live video or audio.
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Administration 103•Background is used for data which is not delay-sensitive, such as E-mails, SMS, download of databases and reception of measurement records.4. Type in the bit rates in kbps in the following rows:•Maximum bit rate ul (kbps) is the maximum upload bit rate allowed for this profile.•Maximum bit rate dl (kbps) is the maximum download bit rate allowed for this profile.•Guaranteed bit rate ul (kbps) is the guaranteed upload bit rate needed for this profile.•Guaranteed bit rate dl (kbps) is the guaranteed download bit rate needed for this profile.5. In the Delivery order row, select from the scroll list whether or not data should be delivered in the same order it was sent. Yes means the data packets are delivered in the same order they were sent.6. In the Maximum SDU size (byte) row, type in the maximum allowed packet size in Bytes (rounded off to nearest 10). The maximum packet size possible is 1520.7. In the Delivery of erroneous SDUs row, select one of the following from the list:•Yes means packets are allowed to contain errors. This setting is suitable for delay-sensitive transmission, because the need for retransmission is limited. The SDU Error settings in step 8. and step 9. will apply.•No means packets are not allowed to contain errors, and the SDU Error setting in step 8. will not be applied. This setting is suitable where error-free transmission is important and delays are accepted.•No detect means that errors will not be detected, and the SDU Error setting in step 8. will not be applied.8. If you selected Yes in step 7., select from the SDU error ratio drop-down list the fraction of a packet allowed to be lost or erroneous.9. Select from the Residual bit error ratio drop-down list the undetected bit error ratio of a packet. If no error detection is requested, Residual bit error ratio indicates the bit error ratio in the delivered packets.10. In the Transfer delay (ms) row, type in the delay in ms. This is the delay from the time data is received in the terminal until it arrives at the receiving end.• If the Transfer delay is 500 ms, error correction is disabled.• If the Transfer delay is 4000 ms, error correction is applied.11. In the Traffic handling priority row, select from the drop-down list which priority this connection should have.12. Click Apply.The new profile is now added, and can be selected from the lists of primary and secondary profiles when you set up your interfaces.Note When you click Apply, the bit rate values you typed in may be rounded off because only certain values are allowed.
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Administration 104Using traffic flow filtersWhat are traffic flow filters?When more than one type of traffic is needed, you must use both a primary and one or more secondary profiles. For the Core network and the terminal to classify packets received from the external network into the proper profile, you need a traffic flow filter.A list of traffic flow filters consists of one to eight packet filters, each identified by a unique packet filter identifier. A packet filter also has an evaluation precedence index that is unique within all traffic flow filters associated with the profiles that share the same PDP (Packet Data Protocol) address. Information of source, destination, type of service etc. is combined in each packet filter in the list.Purpose of the traffic flow filtersThe purpose of the traffic flow filters is to assign different priorities to different types of traffic, in order to optimize performance.Example: When you are browsing the Internet, a Standard data connection is normally sufficient. However, to have a video conference you may need a Streaming connection in order to obtain a direct connection without interruptions. Your traffic flow filters can define these priorities, so that your connection automatically switches to Streaming e.g. when you have a video conference.
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Administration 105Defining traffic flow filtersTo define the traffic flow filters, do as follows:1. From the left navigation pane, select ADMINISTRATION > Traffic flow filters.2. Click the link New entry.3. Type in an Evaluation Precedence Index in the Eval.Prec. Index column.4. Select the Profile from the scroll list.The available profiles are the profiles listed in the ADMINISTRATION > Profiles page.Note This field is mandatory. Each filter must have a different Evaluation Precedence Index.
Chapter 4: Using the web interface98-126882-B Administration 1065. Fill in one or more of the following fields to define the filter.The allowed ranges appear in hover text when you pass the mouse over the fields.•Source address + Subnet mask.•Protocol number.•Destination port range (From and To). Note that Source and Destination are relative the core network. This means that Destination is your terminal.•Source port range (From and To).•Type of Service + Type of Service mask.For further information on the principles and parameters of the traffic flow filters, refer to the 3GPP standards TS27.007 V4.2.0 and TS 23.060 V4.7.0.6.
