Note: Generally your Service Provider has already performed this configuration step for you. Whenever you modify the addresses on the Network Settings screen, you must press SAVE and exit the wMMI, reboot your computer, and power the ThurayaIP off and then back on so that the new settings can take effect.
NET IP:
Obtain Address Automatically: If this button is selected, ThurayaIP uses an IP address automatically assigned by the network during the period when the Modem connects to the network.
Statically Configure Address: If this button is selected, the Modem uses the IP address you enter in the Static Public Network IP Address field. You should check this box and enter an IP address only if directed to do so by your Service Provider.
DNS:
Obtain DNS Address Automatically: If this button is selected, ThurayaIP uses a Primary Host Domain Name Service (DNS) automatically assigned by the network during the period when the Modem connects to the network.
Statically Configure Address: If this button is selected, the Modem uses the DNS address you enter in the DNS Address field. You should check this box and enter an IP address only if directed to do so by your Service Provider.
APN Selection: If use of multiple Internet Service Providers is required, you can modify the current Access Point Name (APN) value. You should modify these fields only if directed to do so by your Service Provider. The choices are the following:
SAVE/ CANCEL: If you want the values you have entered to be processed, click the SAVE button, exit the wMMI, and reboot your computer. You will also need to turn ThurayaIP off and then on again so that the new settings can take effect. If you want the values you have entered to be ignored, click the CANCEL button and the Network Settings remain as they were with no reboot required.
