Section 4 IP Access Configuration & Operation

Dynamic DNS

A freely available Dynamic DNS service (dyndns.org) can be used in the following scenario (see

illustration below)

The P16-IP 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 P16-IP 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 a P16-IP 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 P16-IP.

You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:

 Make sure that the LAN interface of the P16-IP 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).
