Raloy IP Functions for KVM - Manual (Page 27)

24
A freely available Dynamic DNS service (www.dyndns.org) can be used in the following scenario:
The IP module 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 module
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 module 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 module.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
■ Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP module is properly configured.
■ Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog.
■ 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 module 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 module 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.
