NOTE

5.2 Dynamic IP Address

“Data Plan” accounts setup through AT&T/Cingular are provided with a
Dynamic IP address. Dynamic IP addresses are granted only when the modem
is connected and can change each time the modem reconnects to the network.

AT&T/Cingular offers a free Dynamic DNS service that translates a dynamic
IP address to a fully qualified domain name, so that the modem can be
contacted by name as if it had a Static IP.

The domain name used by LoggerNet is: 1xxx.internet.mycingular.com, where
“xxx” is the 10-digit MSISDN associated with the account, and
“internet.mycingular.com” is AT&T/Cingular’s DDNS. No “Dynamic IP”
modem settings are required when using AT&T/Cingular’s DDNS service.
