2.3.2 Dynamic DNS (DDNS) configuration
With Dynamic DNS (DDNS), a console server whose IP address is dynamically assigned can be located
using a fixed host or domain name.
Create an account with the supported DDNS service provider of your choice. When you set up your DDNS
account, you choose a username, password, and hostname that you will use as the DNS name. DDNS
service providers let you choose a hostname URL and set an initial IP address to correspond to that
hostname URL.
To enable and configure DDNS on any of the Ethernet or cellular network connections on the console
server:
1. Click System > IP and scroll down the Dynamic DNS section. Select your DDNS service provider
from the drop-down Dynamic DNS list. You can also set the DDNS information under the Cellular
Modem tab under System > Dial.
2. In DDNS Hostname, enter the fully qualified DNS hostname for your console server e.g. your-
hostname.dyndns.org.
3. Enter the DDNS Username and DDNS Password for the DDNS service provider account.
4. Specify the Maximum interval between updates in days. A DDNS update will be sent even if the
address has not changed.
5. Specify the Minimum interval between checks for changed addresses in seconds. Updates will
be sent if the address has changed.
6. Specify the Maximum attempts per update which is the number of times to attempt an update
before giving up. This is 3 by default.
