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).

Setting Up a Static IP Connection
To establish a static IP network connection, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the system is activated for mini-VSAT Broadband
service.
2. Turn on the TracPhone system and make sure it is "Online."
The system must remain online to allow KVH to set up your
system over the satellite link.
3. Fill out the online form at www.kvh.com/staticip. Be sure to
read all of the details on this form. An additional monthly fee
for static IP service will apply.
Important!
Only the "User Ethernet 4" port on the ICM can be used to connect
static IP devices, as this port bypasses the ICM's local subnet to
connect directly to the built-in modem. Ports 1, 2, and 3 are configured
for DHCP addressing only.
