Server Figure 6 21 Dynamic DNS Scenario The KVM 0850 1650 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 KVM 0850 1650 connects to a special dynamic DNS server in regular 62 KVM 0850 1650 IP KVM switch 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 card The administrator has to register a KVM 0850 1650 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 to the registration process This account information together with the hostname is needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered KVM 0850 1650 You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS e Make sure that the LAN interface of the KVM 0850 1650 is properly configured e Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6 20 e Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs see below Enable Dynamic DNS This enables the Dynamic DNS service This requires a configured DNS server IP address Dynamic DNS server This is the server name where KVM 0850 1650 registers itself in regular intervals Currently this is a fixed setting since only dyndns org is supported for
