FLET'S Hikari Premium Course Fixed IP Address Option

ASAHI Net's Fixed IP Address Option is available for users of the FLET'S Hikari Premium Course. A fixed IP address is suitable for those who play on-line games, for those wanting to raise the level of security of communication between offices using VPN, etc.

• Only one fixed IP address is assigned to one connection User ID.
• The fixed IP address will be assigned arbitrarily from the list of IP addresses which ASAHI Net manages.
• The first time a connection is made to the FLET'S Hikari Premium service after applying for the Fixed IP Address Option and changing the connection User Name setting, an IP address will be assigned and that same IP address will be assigned on future connections.
• The reverse host name registered for reverse-pulling is "asahi-net.or.jp".

Important notes

• The IP address assigned will be arbitrarily assigned by ASAHI Net. Members will not be able to change the assigned fixed IP address, however, there may be circumstances in which ASAHI Net may need to change it. In such cases, ASAHI Net will contact the member at least two weeks in advance.
• Should it be found that a member's IP address has been involved in the sending of spam, in an attack on another computer, or other prohibited behaviour, the member's fixed IP address will be suspended without notice.
• ASAHI Net will not support members wishing to use the fixed IP address to establish their own servers. Troubleshooting support will also not be provided.
• IP filtering is not provided as part of the service. Member should use their own equipment to do this.
• If the fixed IP address is not used for a long period of time, it may become available for others to use. If this happens, then the next time you connect, a new fixed IP address will be assigned.
• If there is a change to connection Course, e.g. to the B FLET'S Family Course, it will not be possible to transfer the fixed IP address to the new Course. If a fixed IP address is required with the new Course, it will be necessary to apply for the Fixed IP Option for that Course, e.g. the Fixed IP Address Option for the B FLET'S Family Course. A different fixed IP address will be assigned.
