4 Administration, Configuration and Status
About Addressing – Devices connecting to GSM/EDGE/GPRS networks are assigned an IP address by the serving
network. Address assignment may either be static or the unit will be dynamically assigned an IP address, depending on
arrangements that you have made with your wireless network operator. Dynamically assigned IP address remain in effect
for a period of time assigned by the network operator, usually at most a small number of hours.
Ctek’s Z Series includes features that manage the temporal nature of dynamically assigned wireless IP addresses. Using
the Wireless Configuration screen you can configure your router to use a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. Ctek operates a
DDNS test bed that allows our customers to observe the performance and reliability of DDNS with their applications. For
large-scale commercial applications Ctek recommends that users configure their own DDNS, managed and maintained
with the customers ongoing IT operations. The Z Series may also be configured to operate with a standard DNS having
Dynamic DNS capabilities. Examples of this type of service would be
Berkeley Internet Name Daemon (BIND) and Microsoft
Server 2000 and up. For detailed information see Ctek’s TechNote S001.
