Figure 6-27. Dynamic DNS Scenario
The ASMI module is reachable via the IP address of the DSL router which is dynamically assigned by
the provider. Since the administrator does not know the IP address assigned by the provider, the ASMI
module connects to a special dynamic DNS server in regular intervals 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 the selected ASMI module with the Dynamic DNS Server and give it a
hostname. The Dynamic DNS Server will return a nickname and password to the registration process.
This account information (together with the hostname) is needed in order to determine the IP address of
the registered ASMI module.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
1. Make sure that the LAN interface of the ASMI module is properly configured.
2. Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-26 .
3. Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see below).
Enable Dynamic DNS
This enables the Dynamic DNS service. It requires a properly configured DNS server IP address.
Dynamic DNS server
This is the server name where ASMI module 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 ASMI module that is provided by the Dynamic DNS Server.
Tip: Use the fully qualified host name (including the domain, e.g. testserver.dyndns.org ) not just
