If Static IP is included in your airtime subscription, we recommend using this static public IP
address for the terminal in order to provide easy access to the terminal.
After preparing the terminal and activating the connection you can access the terminal from one of
the trusted IP addresses, using the incoming port defined in the Incoming port field.
• For information on how to prepare the terminal for remote activation of a data connection, see
the next section.
• For information on how to access the terminal, see Accessing the terminal from a remote
location on page 42.
• For information on how to set up a static IP address, refer to step 5. on page 72 in the section
Setting up the Default network user group.
Remote activation
If you want to remotely control the terminal, it must have activated a connection. You can do this
by sending an SMS to the terminal. The terminal must be powered up and logged on to the
satellite services to receive the SMS and then start the connection. The SMS activation is always
protected by a password. You can set up the terminal to send an SMS confirmation on the status of
the connection, whether it is activated successfully or the activation failed.
To set up the terminal for remote activation with SMS, do as follows:
1. From the left navigation pane, select ADMINISTRATION > Remote activation.
Note
You must activate a connection in the terminal before you can
access the terminal.
Note
The terminal must be logged on to the satellite services to
receive and accept an activation SMS. If the SMS is
considered too old or sent before the terminal has been
switched on and has logged on, the SMS will be ignored.
Important
This service is available if the service provider has an
interoperability agreement with Inmarsat and allows
for roaming. If in doubt, contact your mobile provider.
