You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP console is properly configured.
• Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in the figure below.

Dynamic DNS Dialog


Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see below).

o Enable Dynamic DNS: This enables the Dynamic DNS service. This requires a

configured DNS server IP address.

o Dynamic DNS server: This is the server name where IP console registers itself in

regular intervals. Currently, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is supported for
now.

o DNS System: Choose Dynamic for free DNS service. Custom for your own domain.
o Hostname: This is the hostname of the IP console that is provided by the Dynamic DNS

Server. (Use the whole name including the domain, e.g. testserver.dyndns.org , not just
the actual hostname).

o Username: You have registered this username during your manual registration with the

Dynamic DNS Server. Spaces are not allowed in the Nickname.

o Password: You have used this password during your manual registration with the

Dynamic DNS Server

o Check time: The IP console registers itself for initiating the IP address of IP console

stored in the Dynamic DNS server at this time.

o Check interval: This is the interval for reporting again to the Dynamic DNS server for

updating the IP address associated with the Domain Name of the IP console.

o Apply: saves and activates changes.

Warning!
The IP console has its own independent real time clock. Make sure the time
setting of the IP console is correct. (see section 3.6.6 Date And Time )
