OPERATING GUIDE
address assigned by the provider, Smart 16 IP connects to a special dynamic DNS
server in regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator can
contact this server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to his unit.

service with the Dynamic DNS Server. He will get an approved nickname and
password in return to the registration process. This account information is needed
in order to determine the IP address of the registered Smart 16 IP.
