Using Ddns (Dynamic Dns) - Siemens A31008-M1026-R101 Manual

Using DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a con-
nection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using
a domain name, rather than an IP address.
If you prefer to use DDNS, proceed as follows:
ì
Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then
apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
ì
In the Administration menu, select Network and then DDNS Setting.
ì
Enter and apply the correct DDNS settings.
Operation is then automatic:
u
The Gigaset WLAN Camera will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it
detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the
new IP address.
u
Internet users can connect to your LAN using the domain name allocated by the
DDNS service provider.
