uses an IP address automatically assigned by the network during
the period when the Modem connects to the network.

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.

Obtain DNS Address Automatically: If this button is selected,
ThurayaIP uses a Primary Host Domain Name Service (DNS)

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: Streaming-CBR, Refill, <BLANK> (enter the
desired name) and Disabled.
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.
