Figure 24 Dynamic DNS scenario 
Smart 16 IP 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, Smart 16 IP 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 Smart 16 IP 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 Smart 16 IP.  
To enable the Dynamic DNS:  
1.  Ensure the Smart 16 IP LAN interface is properly configured.
