Static IP Configuration
In a static IP configuration, a network device is
assigned an IP address that can be accessed
directly from the Internet. It does not receive an
IP address from the ICM. Follow these additional
steps to configure the network.
a.
Ask the customer to fill out the request form
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.
c.
The customer will need to configure the
device’s 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. These ports
and the built-in WAP provide direct Internet
access without a user login. Follow the steps
in “Standard Configuration” on page 35.
