Single port KVM over IP switch

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 6-20.

•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.

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 card registers itself in the Dynamic DNS server at this time.

Check interval

This is the interval for reporting again to the Dynamic DNS server by the IP-KVM switch.

Warning

The IP-KVM switch has its own independent real time clock. Make sure the time setting of the IP-KVM switch is correct. (see the Section called Date And Time )
