  • If the SolIP instance is not licensed, it will not pass traffic on the subscriber network. It is important that you license the box as the first step. ** This URL uses variables accessible to us such as and . With the UI and WAN parameters, we require these to be the WAN IP of the network itself. If the gateway's WAN interface is not set to the WAN IP of the site, MUST be replaced manually with the WAN IP

For example. A site with the IP 80.189.219.22, the SolutionIP instance is behind Router X and is assigned the internal IP of 10.10.11.9, in this configuration, we must manually enter 80.189.219.22 as the value UI and WAN parameters.

A site with the IP of 80.189.219.22 with the SolIP instance's WAN interface set as 80.189.219.22, you will not need to manually enter the WAN IP.
