5.5.2 Dynamic DNS
A freely available Dynamic DNS service (dyndns.org) can be used in the following scenario (see
illustration below)
The IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC is reachable via the IP address of the DSL router,
which is dynamically assigned by the provider. Since the administrator does not know the IP
address assigned by the provider, the IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC connects to a
special dynamic DNS server in regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The
administrator may contact this server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to his
device.
The administrator has to register an IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC that is supposed to
take part in the service with the Dynamic DNS Server and assign a certain hostname to it. He
will get a nickname and a password in return. This account information, together with the
hostname, is needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered IP ACCESS KVM
SWITCH CLASSIC.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP ACCESS KVM SWITCH CLASSIC is properly
configured.
Open the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog
Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see the next page).
