Mobile and DSL L2TP Handover: Overview

Our data SIMs allow for the possibility of L2TP hand over of mobile data to your own LNS.

Less common, but still possible it relaying on a DSL circuit to your own LNS

This means that the data SIM connects directly in to your network, and you control the IP address allocation, routing and any fire-walling or filtering you wish.

The settings for a SIM can be set on the control pages. For DSL connection the L2TP settings are set by staff, so please do contact them for any changes or setup. The information that would be requested is:

• Target IP (with an optional backup IP) - the L2TP server at your side
• Host - the hostname we present
• Secret - the password we use (optional)

SIM Configuration
