DDNS
abbreviation for Dynamic Domain Name System
DDNS is a service which allows a PC always to be reached un-
der the same domain name despite constantly changing pub-
lic IP addresses. This means the home network can always be
reached from the Internet, regardless of the user's location.
Even private users have an economical way of placing their
own Internet offers on their PC at home.
Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet
provider assigns a new public IP address.
Each time the IP address changes, the current IP address is
transmitted to a special DDNS server. Except for the few sec-
onds between the cancellation of the old IP address and the
notification of the new IP address, the computer can always
be reached at the selected domain name.
DECT
abbreviation for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunica-
tions
DECT is a European standard for cordless telephony which
was drafted by the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute in 1992 and officially adopted in 1992. DECT defines
the air interface between a mobile handset and its base sta-
tion, and supports both voice transmission and data trans-
mission with flexible transfer speeds.
