Devices

This command is supported in Digi Cellular Family products only.

supported

 

Purpose

Configures a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service. DDNS allows a user whose

 

IP address is dynamically assigned to be located by a host or domain

 

name.

 

A DDNS service provider typically supports the registration of only public IP

 

addresses. When using such a service provider, if your Digi Cellular Family

 

device has a private IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), your

 

update requests will be rejected.

 

Your Digi Cellular Family device monitors the IP address it is assigned. It

 

will typically update the DDNS service or server automatically, but only

 

when its IP address has changed from the IP address is previously

 

registered with that service.

 

Important:

 

• Before using this command, you must contact your DDNS service

 

provider and create an account with them. Currently, the only supported

 

DDNS service provider is Dynamic DNS (DynDNS.com). The provider

 

will give you account information such as username and password that

 

you will enter on this command to register the IP address of your Digi

 

Cellular Family product with their service, and update it as it changes.

 

• The DDNS service supports only public IP addresses. If you have a

 

private IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), your update

 

requests will be rejected.

 

• DDNS service providers may consider frequent updates to be an abuse

 

of their service. In such a circumstance, the service provider may act by

 

blocking updates from the abusive host for some period of time, or until

 

the customer contacts the provider. Please observe the requirements of

 

the DDNS service provider to ensure compliance with possible abuse

 

guidelines.
