Appendix G: DDNS
Application
1. Preface
If you have a Cable modem, xDSL, ISDN or Dialup, this is a great way to host your own Web
Server, FTP Server, Mail Server, Video Server or other TCP/IP Service. Get your own
domain like www.yourname.com*, www.yourname.com.tw* etc. (Note: This domain must be
registered with Internic via registration authorities such as Network Solutions, DirectNIC,
Register.com etc). A DDNS server automatically tracks your domain name's dynamic IP
address.
Host your own Web Server, FTP Server, Mail Server, Video Server and much more no
matter what your computer's IP address may be and even if you have dialup, DSL or cable
modem internet connection where your computer's IP address changes all the time!! DDNS
service supports
to .com, .net, .org, .to, .uk etc.
2. Ethernet Network Environment
Normally, DDNS services are only necessary for the users that could only obtain
dynamic IP addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP
address, they do not usually have to apply the DDNS service. Before we
decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we have to check what kind of
Ethernet network environment we have to install our video server or IP camera
on.
(1) Environment of Fixed Valid IP Network
If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS
service. Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input
the IP address or domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.
(2) Environment of Dynamic IP Network
If users are under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up ADSL), they have
to apply a domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally setup
the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE of IVS-100 or IP camera in order
to let the outside administrator be able to access through Internet.
