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 an IP-KVM switch that is supposed to take part in the
service 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
information together with the hostname is needed in order to determine the IP address
of the registered IP-KVM switch.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP-KVM switch is properly configured.
• Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-25.
• Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see below).

Hostname
This is the hostname of the IP-KVM switch that is provided by the Dynamic DNS

just the actual hostname).
Username

Dynamic DNS Server. Spaces are not allowed in the Nickname.

DNS Server.
Check time
