PLANET IKVM-8000 - Manual (Page 53)

address assigned by the provider, the IKVM-8000 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 IKVM-8000 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 IKVM-8000.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the IKVM-8000 is properly configured.
• Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs.

service to the users. Please make sure you are using Static or
Dynamic service type of Dyndns.org firstly. If you are using Static
service, please select “Custom”; otherwise, please select Dynamic.

Dynamic DNS Server. ( use the whole name including the domain,

with the Dynamic DNS Server. Spaces are not allowed in the
