DDNS SETTINGS
Figure 59. DDNS Section
The DVR5100 allows you to configure Dynamic DNS for your application. DDNS is a service that maps Internet domain names to IP addresses.
DDNS serves a similar purpose to DNS: DDNS allows anyone hosting a Web or FTP server to advertise a public name to prospective users.
Unlike DNS that only works with static IP addresses, DDNS works with dynamic IP addresses, such as those assigned by an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) or other DHCP server. The DVR5100 DDNS feature is applicable for applications that receive dynamic, frequently-changing IP
addresses a service provider.
The following settings and command are available on this tab.
• Enable DDNS Service: When selected, the Enable DDNS Service check box enables DDNS.
• Services: Specifies the name of the service that lists your IP addresses and domain alias.
• DDNS: The name of the domain alias for your system.
• User: The registered user name submitted to the DDNS service provider.
• Password: Registered password entered in association with the user name.
• Force DDNS Update command: Allows you to update DDNS information manually. Using this command is similar to releasing and
renewing IP addresses.
