WAN Backhaul Overrides
A Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) card is a specialized network interface card that allows a
network device to connect, transmit and receive data over a Cellular Wide Area Network. Certain
AP7131N model access points have a PCI Express card slot that supports 3G WWAN cards. The
WWAN card uses Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to connect to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and
gain access to the Internet. PPP is the protocol used for establishing internet links over dial-up
modems, DSL connections, and many other types of point-to-point communications. PPP packages
your system’s TCP/IP packets and forwards them to the serial device where they can be put on the
network. PPP is a full-duplex protocol used on various physical media, including twisted pair or fiber
optic lines or satellite transmission. It uses a variation of High Speed Data Link Control (HDLC) for
packet encapsulation. For a list of supported 3G cards, see
.
