IP address :
The IP address assigned by the ISP to the ADSL interface of the IPL can be a fixed or a dynamic public IP
address.
If it is dynamic, it changes frequently; for instance at each ADSL connection.
It is why, the router which owns a dynamic IP address can only initiate the communication (initiate a VPN for
instance) towards a router owning a fixed IP address.
Reciprocally, a router owning a dynamic IP address cannot easily receive a connection except a DynDNS or
NoIP service is used.

Controls before installing the IPL
Authorization to use a cellular connection
Check the cellular connection is authorized at the location where the IPL is supposed to be installed.
Control of the reception level before installing the machine
Before installing the IPL, refer to a cell map over the Internet to check that the cellular reception signal is
strong enough at the location where the machine is supposed to be installed.
Select the right mobile service provider.
Reception level confirmation
If the reception seems possible, confirm with a control on site.
The reception level can be measured with a smartphone.
Most smartphones provide the reception level information (parameters or diagnostic menu).
To carry-out that control, use mandatorily a SIM card subscribed with the mobile service provider selected
for the IPL.
Remark:
The IPL itself provides the reception level information in two ways:
A reception level led indicator
The diagnostic menu of the administration web server
