IP Manager
If the Raven is configured for Dynamic IP, when the Raven first connects to the Internet, it sends a IP change notification to IP Manager. IP Manger will acknowl- edge the change and update the DNS record. The changed IP address will then be the address for the Raven’s configured name.
Once the Raven’s IP has been updated in IP Manager, it can be contacted via name. If the IP address is needed, you can use the domain name to determine the IP address.
Note: The fully qualified domain name of the Raven will be a subdomain of the domain used by the IP Manager server.
As a free service, Airlink maintains an IP Manager server which can be used for any AirLink modem. The domain is earlink.com and is used in all the samples below.
Configuring the Raven for Dynamic IP
To configure the Dynamic IP settings in your Raven so that it will use IP Manager, you can use AT commands (page 53), using direct serial communication or Telnet, Wireless ACE (page 10), and ACE Net (page 11) using a template built from Wire- less ACE.
To configure your AirLink modem to be addressed by name, the modem needs to have 4 elements configured.
In Wireless ACE, select Dynamic IP to configure your modem to use IP Manager.
