Appendix C. Configuring the RV50 for
Dynamic IP
Verizon® and AT&T® accounts are provided with a static IP address and
do not require the settings described in this section.
Accounts with a
dynamic IP address, will require the IP Manager settings described below.
•
A static IP address is permanently assigned to a particular account and
will always be used whenever the RV50 connects to the Internet.
•
A dynamic IP address is assigned on a “need to have” basis. The
address can change each time the modem or device reconnects to the
network. A dynamic IP address is used with a service such as IP
Manager (described below) to translate a domain name to a dynamic
IP address, so that the RV50 can be contacted by name as if it had a
static IP.
IP Manager is a free service provided by Sierra Wireless® for the RV50 to
translate a dynamic IP address into a fully-qualified domain name, so it can be
contacted directly on the Internet. IP Manager translates a dynamic IP address
to a fully qualified-domain name so you can contact your RV50 by name as if
it had a static IP address.
If the RV50 is configured for dynamic IP, when the RV50 first connects to the
Internet, it sends an IP change notification to IP Manager. IP Manager will
acknowledge the change and update the dynamic DNS record. The changed IP
address will then be the address for the RV50 configured name. Once the
RV50 IP has been updated in IP Manager, it can be contacted via name.
ACEmanager
is used to configure the dynamic IP settings in your RV50 so that
it will use IP Manager as described below.
Connect with modem using
ACEmanager
. Select the dynamic IP group to
configure your modem to use IP Manager.
To configure your Sierra Wireless modem to be addressed by name, the
modem simply needs to have two elements configured: Enable
Dynamic DNS
and enter a meaningful name for the
Device Name
.
•
Under the
Services
tab, select the
Dynamic DNS
group and use the
drop-down list to select
IP Manager
. This will reveal the settings
specific to this DNS service.
•
Enter a
Device Name
; this is a unique name for the modem (the 10-
digit MDN number is recommended).
