PinPoint EDGE/GPRS - User Guide, version 2.32 17
IP Manager and DNS
*MODEMNAME: The name you want for the modem.
*DOMAIN: The domain name to be used by the modem.
*IPMANAGER1 and *IPMANAGER2: The IP address or domain name of the dynamic DNS
server which is running IP Manager.
*IPMGRUPDATE1 and *IPMGRUPDATE2: How often, in minutes, you want the address
sent to IP Manager. If this is set to zero, the modem will only send an update if the IP address
changes (example, if your PinPoint modem is reset or is assigned a different IP address).
*IPMGRKEY1 and *IPMGRKEY2: User defined password key which is used instead of Air-
Link secret key when using an IP Manager server other than the one provided by AirLink.
Restrictions for Modem Name
For the Modem Name, you should use something which is unique but also easy to remember. Your
company name or the intended function of the modem are recommended. If you have more than
one modem and want to name them the same, you can append a number for each. Since it is an
Internet domain name, there are some restrictions for the name.
• Must begin with a letter or number
• Can include a hyphen (-)
• Cannot contain spaces
• Must be no longer than 20 characters total
Data Usage for IP Manager Server Updates
The IP Manager update is a small packet sent to the server with a response sent back to the modem.
If you have *IPMGRUPDATE1 or *IPMGRUPDATE2 set to any number but zero, the modem
will send the update not only when it receives a new IP address but at the time interval as well. The
data traffic could be billed by your carrier.
Each update is a total of 68 bytes from the modem with a 50 byte total response from the server for
a round trip update of 118 bytes.
Eairlink.com
As a service, Airlink maintains a IP Manager servers which can be used for any AirLink modem.
• *DOMAIN: eairlink.com
• *IPMANAGER1 : edns2.eairlink.com
• *IPMANAGER2 : eairlink.com
Note: To use the name here instead of the IP, you need to have DNS set up in your
PinPoint (page
18).
