CONFIGURATION

4.3.3 Statistics Page

See Figure 4-3. The Statistics page provides an estimate of the amount of Packet Switched data sent and received,

along with time spent on a CS call. The data is broken up into three types.

Session: The PS session statistics track the cumulative PS data sent and received on background PDP contexts since

the unit was powered on. CS sessions statistics track the time of the last call.

Trip: The trip counter is similar to the trip counter on a vehicle. It can be zeroed out at anytime (select Reset data

button) and it will track the statistics until it is reset.

Lifetime: The Lifetime counter is similar to the odometer on a vehicle. It shows the statistics of the BGAN terminal

since the software version that added this feature was loaded onto the BGAN terminal. These counters cannot be

reset.

If power is suddenly lost for some reason, statistics will not be saved to flash for the session and may be inaccurate.

R RF-7800B CONFIGURATION 4.3.4 PDP Contexts See Figure 4-4. The PDP Context page is used to setup and configure PDP contexts for any computer that is connected to the BGAN terminal. NOTE Before attempting a connection, ensure that the terminal is Registered. Refer to Paragraph 4.3.1. To activate a PDP Context, go to the bottom of the page. Look for the Context Activation, Local IP Address, APN, Requested Quality-of-Service (QoS), Username and Password fields.

R e. RF-7800B CONFIGURATION The new connection appears in the PDP Connections table. Once the context has been setup, whether it is successful or not, the properties will remain in the table above. In the table above, the entry can be cleared by clicking the associated Clear button. There are two buttons to the right of each CID definition in the table. When a context is defined but inactive, the Activate button is available to try and start the connection.

R RF-7800B CONFIGURATION 4.3.4.2 Activating Multiple PDP Contexts To activate multiple PDP contexts for additional computers, repeat the instructions for a single PDP context. Each time a context is activated for a particular local IP address, it will show up in the table. See Figure 4-5. Up to 11 computers can be connected to the BGAN terminal. More than one computer can be connected to the Ethernet interface by using either a hub, router or a switch.
PAGE 5
R 4.3.5 RF-7800B CONFIGURATION IP ACA Properties See Figure 4-6. The Automatic Context Activation feature provides the ability to create a PDP connection automatically using a specified IP address of the Terminal Equipment (TE). The TE is an IP device (e.g., IP camera), which can transfer IP data.
PAGE 6
RF-7800B CONFIGURATION 4.3.5.1 R ACA settings for TE with Static IP address: A custom range of static IP addresses can be used for setting up an automatic PDP context with any of the QoS's offered by the network. To turn on a particular range of addresses: a. Select On and enter the low and high range of IP addresses to use (e.g. 192.168.128.210 to 192.168.128.219). b. Select the desired QoS for that range of IP addresses (32 k) for streaming.

R 4.3.6 RF-7800B CONFIGURATION ISDN Interface Properties See Figure 4-7. To establish Integrated Services Digital Network data communication, connect the BGAN terminal ISDN port to ISDN equipment using the ISDN/Ethernet cable. Use the ISDN Interface page to activate 40 V power sourcing on the ISDN interface, and set Multi-Subscriber Numbering (MSN) numbering options. Figure 4-7.
PAGE 8
RF-7800B CONFIGURATION R MSN RDI: By default, MSN 3 is entered into the MSN Restricted Digital Information text box. RDI is a 56 kbps service that is normally found in the USA. Trigger for Mobile-Originated call type (Bearer): This drop down box controls the mechanism used by the BGAN terminal to select the bearer type for mobile originated calls.   Bearer Capability is set by default as the trigger.
