Intel® Remote Management Module 2 User Guide 73
The Intel
®
RMM2 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 Intel
®
RMM2 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 the card.
The administrator has to register the Intel
®
RMM2 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 through the registration process. This account information, together with the
hostname, is needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered Intel
®
RMM2.
You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS:
1. Make sure that the LAN interface of the Intel
®
RMM2 is properly configured.
2. Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 62.
3. Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs (see below).
Enable Dynamic DNS
This enables the Dynamic DNS service. This requires a configured DNS server IP address.
Dynamic DNS Server
This is the server name where the Intel
®
RMM2 registers itself in regular intervals. Currently this
is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is supported for now.
Hostname
This is the hostname of the Intel
®
RMM2 that is provided by the Dynamic DNS Server (use the
whole name including the domain, e.g. testserver.dyndns.org, not just the actual hostname).
Username
You have registered this username during your manual registration with the Dynamic DNS
Server. Spaces are not allowed in the Nickname.
Password
You have used this password during your manual registration with the Dynamic DNS Server.
Check Time
The Intel
®
RMM2 card registers itself in the Dynamic DNS server at this time.
Check Interval
This is the interval for reporting again to the Dynamic DNS server by the Intel
®
RMM2.
Note: The Intel
®
RMM2 has its own independent real time clock. Make sure the time setting of
the Intel
®
RMM2 is correct.
The option "Delete saved external IP" is useful if you would like to update your IP address
saved externally. To delete the saved address press the button "Delete".
