In a Static IP HTS configuration, Ethernet port 1
provides unlimited Internet access with no user
logins or controls. Ports 2 and 3 and the built-in
WAP require a user login and provide high-
speed Internet access. Port 4 is reserved for an
optional KVH service, such as Global Static IP.
Global Static IP service allows you to set up a
network device with an IP address that can be
accessed directly from the Internet. It does not
receive an IP address from the ICM. If you
require Global Static IP Service, follow these
additional steps to configure the network.
a.
Ask the customer to fill out the request form
at
www.kvh.com/staticip
. In addition, the
system must be activated for mini-VSAT
Broadband service, and it must remain online
until KVH configures the system over the air.
b.
Connect the static IP device to User
Ethernet port 4 on the ICM (see Figure 73).
c.
The customer will need to configure the
devices TCP/IP properties according to the
instructions KVH will provide in an email
upon fulfilling the static IP request.
d.
Connect all other (non-static IP) computers
and/or network devices to User Ethernet
ports 1-3 and Wi-Fi, as required. Follow the
steps in Standard HTS Configuration on
page 35.
A static IP address should only be assigned to
a secure device, such as a firewall router.
