DYNAMIC DNS
Dynamic DNS is a feature of the 730 Encoder that allows conti-
nuous Internet connection with a unit working behind a dynam-
ic (changing) IP address. This is discussed in further detail on
Page 67 in the Networking section.
TCP MODE PASSWORD
Because the 730 Encoder may be
addressed over the public Internet,
a password system has been incor-
porated in the TCP/IP operating
mode to thwart hackers. Clicking:
Tools/TCP Password
in the software
screen will bring up the box shown
here, where a
NETPASS:
(network
password) may be entered. Please refer to additional details
and considerations in the Networking section on Page 66. Un-
used TCP ports may be turned off altogether by setting the Port
No. to zero.
UECP PORT SELECTION
Click:
Tools/UECP
to bring up the port assignment utility shown
at the top of the next page. All 730 Encoder ports are listed,
and each port may be assigned as either a normal ASCII port or
a UECP-enabled port. Ports assignments will be effective on the
next
WRITE
command.
