Security – Tripp Lite B050-000 User Manual

Chapter 6. Menu Options
signed by the provider, the B050-000 connects to a special dynamic DNS server in
regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator may contact
this server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to his card.
The administrator has to register a B050-000 that is supposed to take part in the ser-
vice with the Dynamic DNS Server and assign a certain hostname to it. He will get
a nickname and a password in return to the registration process. This account infor-
mation together with the hostname is needed in order to determine the IP address of
the registered B050-000.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
•
Make sure that the LAN interface of the B050-000 is properly configured.
•
Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-27.
•
Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see below).
Enable Dynamic DNS
This enables the Dynamic DNS service. This requires a configured DNS server
IP address.
Dynamic DNS server
This is the server name where B050-000 registers itself in regular intervals. Cur-
rently this is a fixed setting since only
dyndns.org
is supported for now.
Hostname
This is the hostname of the B050-000 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).
Username
You have registered this username during your manual registration with the
Dynamic DNS Server. Spaces are not allowed in the Nickname.
Password
You have used this password during your manual registration with the Dynamic
DNS Server.
Check time
The B050-000 card registers itself in the Dynamic DNS server at this time.
Check interval
This is the interval for reporting again to the Dynamic DNS server by the B050-
000.
Warning
The B050-000 has its own independent real time clock. Make sure the
time setting of the B050-000 is correct (see the Section called Date And
Time).
The option “Delete saved external IP” is useful if you would like to update your IP
address saved externally. To delete the saved address press the button “Delete”.
