RavenXTG GPRS/EDGE Sierra Wireless Cellular Modem
5.1 Configuring the RavenXTG for Dynamic IP
Accounts with the I2GOLD APN are provided with a Static IP address,
and do not require the settings described in Section 5.1, Configuring the
RavenXTG for Dynamic IP. Accounts without the I2GOLD APN may be
provided with a Dynamic IP address, which will require the IP Manager
settings described below.
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 RavenXTG 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 RavenXTG by name
as if it had a static IP.
If the RavenXTG is configured for Dynamic IP, when the RavenXTG 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 RavenXTG’s
configured name. Once the RavenXTG’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 RavenXTG
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.
