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

Make sure the Mobile IP check box is selected.
