Obtain an IP address automatically
A LAN connection can be configured to
obtain an IP address automatically. You should only change this config-
uration in case your service provider requires it.
The server that assigns the GlobeSurfer 3G with an IP address, also as-
signs a subnet mask. You can override the dynamically assigned subnet
mask by selecting the
Override subnet mask
and specifying your own mask
instead.
Use the following IP address
The LAN connection is usually configured us-
ing a permanent (static) IP address. Your service provider should provide
you with this address and subnet mask.
