Network services and IP passthrough
The IP pass-through feature (Configuration > Network > IP Pass-through) causes the Digi device to
be bridged transparently between Ethernet and mobile data links. Enabling IP Pass-through disables
many device features, including many network services. To provide access to the device for
configuration and management purposes, you can configure a subset of network services to
terminate at the Digi device instead a connected device such as a router. In the IP pass-through
feature, these network services are called pinholes. Services that you can configured as pinholes
include HTTP, HTTPS, telnet, SSH, and SNMP. See
Dynamic DNS update settings
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service allows a user whose IP address is dynamically assigned to be located
by a host or domain name. Before a DDNS service may be used, you must create an account with the
DDNS service provider. The provider will give you account information such as user name and
password. You will use this account information to register your IP address and update it as it
changes.
A DDNS service provider typically supports the registration of only public IP addresses. When using
such a service provider, if your Digi device has a private IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x),
your update requests will be rejected.
The Digi device monitors the IP address it is assigned. It will typically update the DDNS service or
server automatically, but only when its IP address has changed from the IP address it previously
registered with that service.
DDNS service providers may consider frequent updates to be an abuse of their service. In such a
circumstance, the service provider may act by blocking updates from the abusive host for some period
of time, or until the customer contacts the provider. Please observe the requirements of the DDNS
service provider to ensure compliance with possible abuse guidelines.
The Dynamic DNS Update Settings page includes both settings and status information.
