IP Manager

22

Cingular GPRS Raven User Guide Version 2.01

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.

The fully qualified domain name of the Raven will be a subdomain of eairlink.com.

Note: Earlink.com is a domain name owned and registered by AirLink
for IP Manager.

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 61), using direct serial communication or Telnet
(page 58), Wireless ACE (page 15), and ACE Net (page 16) using a template built
from Wireless ACE.

To configure your AirLink modem to be addressed by name, the modem needs to
have 4 elements configured.
