Dynamic Dns - Lindy aJ-Orion User Manual

5.5.2 Dynamic DNS

A freely available Dynamic DNS service (dyndns.org) can be used in the following scenario (see
illustration below)
The IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB is reachable 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 CLASSIC USB connects to a special dynamic
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 device.
The administrator has to register an IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB 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. This account information, together with the hostname, is
needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB .
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB is properly
configured.
Open the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog
Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see the next page).
