5.10.3 Using IP Manager with your RLXIC-EV
To allow your RadioLinx modem to be addressed by name, the modem needs to
have a minimum of three elements configured. You can also configure a second
dynamic server as a backup, secondary, or alternate server.
In ACEmanager, select D
YNAMIC IP.
Understanding DNS
The RLXIC-EV has the ability to query DNS servers in order to translate domain
names into IP addresses. This allows you to use domain names in place of IP
addresses for most of the configuration options requiring IP addresses. This is
important if your RLXIC-EV will need to contact another modem or other device
that has a domain name but an unknown or dynamic IP address (such as
another remote RLXIC-EV using IP Manager).
Eairlink.com
As a service, ProSoft Technology offers an IP Manager server, which can be
used for any RadioLinx Intelligent Cellular modem.
Note: The IP Manager service is currently not a guaranteed service, although every effort is made
to keep it operational 24/7.
 *DOMAIN: eairlink.com
 *IPMANAGER1: edns2.eairlink.com
 *IPMANAGER2: eairlink.com
Important: Because many modems use the IP Manager service, you must have a unique name for
your modem.
Restrictions for Modem Name
For the Modem Name, you should use something that 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. Because 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
