Dynamic DNS

Overview

Dynamic DNS Service providers enable users to access a server connected to the internet that has been assigned a dynamic IP address. The IOLAN product line has built-in support for the DynDNS.com service provider. Refer to www.DynDNS.com for information on setting up an account.

Functionality

When the IOLAN is assigned a dynamic IP address, it will inform the DynDNS.com service provider of its new IP address. Users can then use DynDNS.com as a DNS service to get the IP address of the IOLAN. In order to take advantage of this service, the following steps need to be taken.

1.Create an account with DynDNS.com and configure the name your IOLAN will be known by on the internet (the Host name). For example, create a host name such as yourcompanySCS.DynDNS.org.

2.Enable the Network Dynamic DNS feature and configure the IOLAN’s dynamic DNS parameters to match the Host’s configuration on the DynDNS.com server. Every time the IOLAN gets assigned a new IP address, it will update DynDNS.com with the new IP address.

3.Users accessing the IOLAN via the internet can now access it via its fully qualified host name. For example, telnet yourcompanySCS.DynDNS.org.

Field Descriptions
