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 ACCESS SWITCH LITE 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 ACCESS SWITCH LITE 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 ACCESS SWITCH LITE 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 ACCESS SWITCH LITE.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
Make sure that the LAN interface of the IP ACCESS SWITCH LITE 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).
