PLANET IKVM-17080 - Manual (Page 51)

scenario.
The IP-KVM 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-KVM 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 relating to his IP-KVM unit.
The administrator has to register an IP-KVM 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.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP-KVM is properly configured.
• Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in

.
• 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 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 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.
