Profile Interface Configuration
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. The AP-7131N model access point has 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 that can be 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.
