Adding detailed information to a Mobile IP service template
A Mobile IP service template provides a persistent data connection to your
packet data network while moving between data service regions within
your home network. Mobile IP networks require you to supply an HA
(Home Agent) server address which acts like a forwarding address. The
HA server translates the IP address on your phone into a “care of” address
and enables other devices to locate you as you roam through the
network.
If you are creating a new Mobile IP service template, you need to provide
additional information to connect to your packet data network. You use
the Details and Advanced dialog boxes to add additional information to
the selected service template.
To define a Mobile IP service template:
1. Tap Details.
2. Make sure the Mobile IP check box is selected.
