8.1.5 DDNS Settings
DDNS is an abbreviation for Dynamic Domain Name Service. In general, ISP will allocate IP PBX
a dynamic IP address by ADSL PPPoE mode connection when you access Internet, and the IP
address may change day by day. In other words, the IP-PBX IP address may change and can NOT
be reached by a fixed IP address. In such a case, DDNS can be a resolution.
DDNS resolution is used to associate domain name with dynamic IP address acquired fr om ISP.
Users would only need to know the domain name, and do not care about the current PBX IP address.
For DDNS, you should firstly register an account onto, for example, www.3322.org or
www.dyndns.com for free. The IP-PBX supports the DDNS settings for these two most popular DDNS;
3322.org and dyndns.org.
