Unless you Write the commands, the changes made in
New Value will not be sent to the modem. For some
commands unless you Reset the modem, the newly
written values will not take effect. WARNING
5.1 Configuring the Raven for Dynamic IP
Dynamic IP addresses are granted only when a modem or other device is
connected. The address can change each time the modem or device reconnects
to the network.
IP Manager is a free service provided by Sierra Wireless for the Raven to
translate a dynamic IP address into a fully qualified domain name so it can be
contacted directly on the Internet. IP Manager translates a dynamic IP address
to a fully qualified domain name so you can contact your Raven by name as if
it had a static IP.
If the Raven is configured for Dynamic IP, when the Raven first connects to
the Internet, it sends an IP change notification to IP Manager. IP Manager will
acknowledge the change and update the dynamic 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.
AceManager is used to configure the Dynamic IP settings in your Raven so
that it will use IP Manager as described below.
Connect with modem using AceManager. Select the Dynamic IP group to
configure your modem to use IP Manager.
To configure your Sierra Wireless modem to be addressed by name, the
modem needs to have four elements configured.
Enter names in the New Value fields for MODEMNAME, DOMAIN,
IPMANAGER1, IPMANAGER2, and IPMGRUPDATE1.
