SMART IP EXTENDER
41
IP Extender is reachable via the IP address of the DSL router, which is dynamically
assigned by the provider. Since the administrator doesn't know the IP address
assigned by the provider, IP Extender 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 card.
The administrator has to register a IP Extender that is supposed to take part in the
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 IP Extender.
To enable the Dynamic DNS:
1. Ensure the IP Extender LAN interface is properly configured.
2. From the IP Extender menu choose Network Settings / Dynamic DNS. The
Dynamic DNS Settings appear. See Figure 27.

time.
