Static IP Configuration

64
In a static IP configuration, an onboard 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.
Important!
You should only assign a static IP address to a secure device, such as a
firewall router.
A static IP connection is commonly used by commercial vessels to
enable remote monitoring and IT management from shore, and to
allow a vessel's crew to access their company's secure VPN (virtual
private network).

service.

system over the satellite link.
