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 KVM-9000 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 KVM-9000.

You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:

•Make sure that the LAN interface of the KVM-9000 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).
