Avocent PS/2 IP User Manual page 48

The administrator has to register a PS/2 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
PS/2 IP-KVM switch.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch is properly configured.
• Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-20.
• 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 PS/2 IP-KVM switch registers itself in regular intervals.
Currently, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is supported for now.
Hostname
This is the hostname of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch 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 PS/2 IP-KVM switch 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 PS/2 IP-KVM
switch.
The PS/2 IP-KVM switch has its own independent real time clock. Make sure the time
setting of the PS/2 IP-KVM switch is correct. (See the Section called Date And Time)
