Figure 6-11: Dynamic DNS Scenario

The freeView IP 800 is reachable from the internet via the IP address of the DSL router, which is dynamically assigned by the service provider. Since the administrator does not know the IP address assigned by the provider at any given time, the freeView IP 800 connects to a special dynamic DNS server at regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator can then contact the dynamic DNS server and find the IP address of the device.

The administrator has to register the device that is with the Dynamic DNS service provider and assign a hostname (URL) to it. The Dynamic DNS service provider will assign a nickname and a password to the administrator. The hostname and the account information are needed to determine the IP address of the registered device.

The following steps detail how to enable Dynamic DNS:

•Ensure that the LAN interface of the freeView IP 800 is properly configured.

•Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6-10.

•Enable Dynamic DNS and specify the settings appropriately (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 name of the server where the device registers itself at regular intervals. Currently, this is a fixed setting since only dyndns.org is presently supported.

Hostname: This is the hostname of the device 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.
