9.1.2 To access the digital receiver outdoors
When you are outdoors, you can access the digital receiver
in your home if your access point is configured to route your
request to the digital receiver by port forwarding. By this fea-
ture, the access point will connect you to the digital receiver
when you try to access it with the IP address of the access
point.
Your access point may be assigned to a dynamic IP address by
a Internet Service Provider (ISP). So if the access point has re-
booted, you cannot access it as long as someone in your home
does not inform you of the changed IP address. However,
many access points support Dynamic Domain Name System
(DDNS) service, which can settle this problem.
