Mobile Access Router
4 MCU
Passenger Ethernet LAN / WLAN
Lufthansa Technik‘s Mobile Access Router (MAR) How we manage the customer connectivity experience and costs: • On board solid state DHCP and web-server to support log-in process • Built in wired and wireless Ethernet connections • Built in call manager software for voice over IP – replaces PABX • Router searches for available networks – for passenger options, can choose speed over price – managing costs: 9 HSD, CBB, ground networks or hot-spot coverage, as well as GSM networks

Managing the User Experience Ensure that the laptop has a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port and that it is set up to receive an IP address from a DHCP server.
1 Plug the laptop into the cabin network port
2 Turn the laptop on
3 Launch the web browser
Managing the User Experience
4 Read the on screen instructions 5 Press
6 Surf, read emails, enjoy. •
A user with administrator rights can change the system from MPDS mode to ISDN mode and back again. Otherwise the router will work automatically.
Be tethered...or be mobile
Connect with a cable... use a standard CAT5 ethernet cable with an RJ45 jack
... or use a wireless ethernet card •
The wireless profile must be entered into the user’s wireless configuration, in order to access the system
•
IEEE 802.11b or IEEE802.11g supported
Managing the connection and costs
if the aircraft is on the ground and IEEE802.11b is available and access is granted, then gatelink will be selected (up to 11Mbps) if the aircraft is on the ground and gatelink is not available then GPRS will be selected (up to 56kbps)
if the aircraft is on the ground and GPRS is not available or if the aircraft is in the air then MPDS will be selected (up to 128kbps)
if MPDS is not available or if video conferencing is initiated, then ISDN will be selected (up to 128kbps)

Expand the Network‘s Horizons... The Mobile Access Router is just one part of the cabin management system. Once you have communications on board, you can add: • Cabin management & control (lights, call, temperature etc.) • Digital video and audio entertainment • IP telephony • Remote maintenance
