Dynamic DNS

If a user connects the Console Server to a DSL line or uses a DHCP configuration to get a dynamic IP address from the network, the IP address might change. This can make it difficult to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.

The Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs and organizations to deal with the above issue. By using a Dynamic DNS service, you can access the Console Server through the host name registered in the Dynamic DNS server regardless of any IP address change. By default, the Console Server only supports the Dynamic DNS service offered at Dynamic DNS Network Services, LLC (www.dyndns.org).

To use the Dynamic DNS service provided by Dynamic DNS Network Services, you must set up an account in their Members’ NIC (Network Information Center - http://members.dyndns. org). You may then add a new Dynamic DNS host link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services Members NIC.

After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, you must enter the registered domain name, user name, and password. After applying the configuration change, you will be able to access the Console Server by using only the domain name. The DNS (Domain Name Systems) is the Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses.
