Dynamic Ip Address Resolution; Step By Step; Dyndns Account Set-Up; Dyndns Configuration On A Network Router - Bayrol PoolManager Chlorine User Manual

By contrast, PoolManager and other devices on the local network
®
possess only one local IP address. They do not have their own IP
address on the Internet.
The following figure schematically shows a local network with an
Internet connection via the router.
1 Local network (Ethernet and / or wireless network)
2 PoolManager ® with wireless connection to the router
(or, alternatively, via network cable)
3 Further devices on the local network
(PCs and mobile devices)
4 Network router
5 Router's IP address on the local network
6 Router's Internet connection
(with separate IP address on the Internet)
7 Internet (World Wide Web)
The network router receives its IP address on the Internet from the
Internet service provider. In most cases, this address is dynamic, i.e. it
can change at any time, such as due to a reboot of the Internet
connection. This is designated a dynamic IP address.
Internet services providers also issue static IP addresses, which do
remain the same. However, to do so, special service packages with
static IP addresses have to be booked. Most standard DSL packages
work with dynamic IP addresses.

Dynamic IP address resolution

For remote access to PoolManager
router's current IP address on the Internet. If a dynamic IP address is
being used, then it won't be known initially.
The DynDNS system (or DDNS (dynamic Domain Name System
entry)) resolves this problem. These are services on the Internet (Web
services) to which your router regularly transmits its current IP
address. The DynDNS service provides you with a URL (such as
http://myPoolManager.dyndns.org). When you call up that URL from a
browser, the DynDNS service automatically forwards the query to the
current IP address of your network router. In this manner, you have
access to your network router at all times, even if it is using a dynamic
IP address.

INFO
Static IP address
If your network router has a static IP address on the
Internet, then there is no need to set up a DynDNS
service.
47.2.1

DynDNS account set-up

Select a DynDNS provider and set up an account. This is done via the
DynDNS provider's website.
In general, the following data have to be entered:

Username

Password

E-mail address for confirming the account

Host name
The host name determines the URL you use to access your
PoolManager ® : It generally consists of two sections:
1. A freely selectable name, such as myPoolManager
(the name selected has to be available still)
2. A fixed extension issued by the DynDNS provider, such as
dyndns.org, dtdns.net, no-ip.com,... Some providers have
various extensions available.
An example of a complete URL for remote access would then be:
http://myPoolManager.dtdns.net
DynDNS providers with free services include, for example, dtdns.net
or no-ip.com. For a detailed description on setting up a DynDNS
account, please refer to the documentation from the respective
provider.
47.2.2

DynDNS configuration on a network router

Now you'll have to activate the network router's DynDNS function. This
ensures that the router regularly transmits its current IP address to the
DynDNS service.
Most modern network routers support the DynDNS function. Should
your router not support this function, then we recommend replacing
the router.
The DynDNS function is generally configured by entering information
about your DynDNS account:

Username

Password

Host name
The exact configuration procedure is heavily dependent upon the
router used. Generally, the router has either a Web interface for
configuration or a special configuration program.
You'll need the access data (username and password) for accessing
router configuration.
For a detailed description, please refer to the documentation for the
router being used.
