ServView 17 Enterprise KVM Drawer
The IP-KVM switch is accessible via the IP address of the DSL router, which is dynamically
assigned by the provider. Since the administrator does not know the IP address assigned by
the provider, the IP-KVM switch connects to a special dynamic DNS server at regular intervals
and registers its IP address there. The administrator may contact this server as well and
discover the IP address.
The administrator must register the IP-KVM switch and assign a hostname to it. He will get a
nickname and a password in return. 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 correctly configured.
• Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog
• 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 that the IP-KVM switch registers itself with at regular intervals.
Currently, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is supported
