ALEOS 4.9.0 Software Configuration User Guide for AirLink RV50 Series
Rev 1 Dec. 17
Since many mobile network operators, such as wire-based ISPs, do not offer
static IP addresses or static address accounts (which can cost a premium as
opposed to dynamic accounts), Sierra Wireless AirLink Solutions developed IP
Manager. IP Manager works with a Dynamic DNS server to receive notification
from Sierra Wireless AirLink gateways to translate the dynamic IP address to a
fully qualified domain name. Thus, you can contact your AirLink gateway directly
from the Internet using a domain name.

Third Party Dynamic DNS Services
Using a third party dynamic DNS service requires an account with Internet
access and an account with the third party service.
Note that third party Dynamic DNS services typically update the domain name to
point to the source IP in the update packet. If the gateway has a NATed WAN IP
address the domain name points to the network device performing NAT.
