DESCRIPTION

PIN Code

This field displays with a GSM or HSDPA 3G card. A PIN (Personal Identification

 

Number) code is a key to a 3G card. Without the PIN code, you cannot use the 3G

 

card.

 

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, enter an arbitrary number.

Parameters

 

 

 

Egress

Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can send

Bandwidth

through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. This setting

 

is used in WAN load balancing and bandwidth management.

 

 

Ingress

This is reserved for future use.

Bandwidth

Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can

 

receive from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.

 

 

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in

 

bytes, that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the ZyWALL

 

divides it into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1492. Usually, this

 

value is 1492.

 

 

Connectivity

The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to

Check

make sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the

 

connection, how long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and

 

how many consecutive failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to

 

the gateway. The ZyWALL resumes routing to the gateway the first time the

 

gateway passes the connectivity check.
