In the configuration modal, provide the required inputs:

| Input              | Description                     | Example                         |
| :----------------- | :------------------------------ | :------------------------------ |

| **Allowed IPs**    | IP addresses allowed to connect | `0.0.0.0/0` (any)               |

### [​](https://otoyinc.mintlify.app/service-consumers/service-consumers-quick-start-job-recipe#step-3-submit)Step 3: Submit

Click **Submit Job**. You’ll be redirected to the **Job Detail** page.

### Step 4: Wait for Node Assignment

After submitting, your Job goes through these stages:

| Status       | Description                                              |
| :----------- | :------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PENDING**  | The network is searching for a Node with your specs      |
| **ASSIGNED** | A Node has been selected and is preparing your container |
| **RUNNING**  | Your container is running and ready for connections      |

Once a Node is assigned, a **Job Run** is automatically created. This may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on network availability.
