2.4.2 Dynamic DNS
When users connect the IP serial console to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, and get a dynamic IP address from the
network, the IP address may not the same as previous. It can therefore be very difficult to know if an IP address has changed,
or what the new IP address is.
A Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs or organizations to deal with the above issue. By using the Dynamic DNS
service, users can access the IP serial console through the hostname registered in the Dynamic DNS Server regardless of any
IP address change.
By default, the IP serial console only supports Dynamic DNS service offered at Dynamic DNS Network Services, LLC
(www.dyndns.org).
To use the Dynamic DNS service provided by Dynamic DNS Network Services, the user must set up an account. In their
Members’ NIC (Network Information Center - http://members.dyndns.org). The user may then add a new Dynamic DNS Host
link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services Members NIC.
After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, the user must enter the registered Domain
Name, User Name, and Password. After applying the configuration change, users can access the IP serial console using only
the Domain Name. The DNS (Domain Name Systems) is the internet service that translates your domain names into IP addresses.
2.4.3 HTTPS / SSL
The IP serial console Web server supports both HTTP and HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) services simultaneously.
The user can to enable or disable security function of each port individually. HTTPS provides a secure, encrypted web interface
over SSL (secure sockets layer). The following steps to use the HTTPS protocol:
1. Change the URL from “http://xxx.xxx.xxx/” to “https://xxx.xxx.xxx/”.
2. If connect success, it will show up the “Lock” icon on the right-hand side of the taskbar.
