Single Port KVM over IP
65 / 88
IP address assigned by the provider, the IP-KVM switch 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 card.
The administrator has to register an IP-KVM switch 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 IP-KVM switch.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP-KVM switch is properly configured.
• Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-25.
• 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 IP-KVM switch registers itself in regular
intervals. Currently, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is supported
for now.
DNS System
Choose Dynamic for free DNS service. Custom for your own domain.
Hostname
This is the hostname of the IP-KVM switch that is provided by the Dynamic
DNS Server. (use the whole name including the domain, e.g.
testserver.dyndns.org , not just the actual hostname).
Username
You have registered this username during your manual registration with the
Dynamic DNS Server. Spaces are not allowed in the Nickname.
Password
You have used this password during your manual registration with the
Dynamic DNS Server.
Check time
The IP-KVM switch registers itself for initiating the IP address of IP-KVM
switch stored in the Dynamic DNS server at this time.
Check interval
This is the interval for reporting again to the Dynamic DNS server for updating
the IP address associated with the Domain Name of the IP-KVM switch.
