How to use DynDNS service on receiver
Background information
The DynDNS functionality allows clients to use an internet domain name to address a GR10 receiver with a dynamic
IP address.
The typical use case for this functionality is a receiver with an internet connection via GPRS. In this setup the GR10
will have a different IP address every time the internet connection is established.
Another use case is a GR10 behind a router in a local network, where the router is connected to the internet and
regularly gets an updated IP address. The GR10 will check every 12min for a new IP address on the router and
updates the DynDNS settings when neccessary.
Before you begin
Register at a DynDNS service: Go to http://www.dyndns.com or http://www.no-ip.com or http://www.Two-DNS.com
and register for an account. At registration enter the hostname you want your sensor to be accessed with. Enable
wildcard use. Mail exchanger functionality is not necessary.
Step-by-step
Step Description
1
Attach and configure a mobile internet device.
Please see Network connections: Mobile internet on how to configure the mobile internet device.
2
Open the receiver’s web interface and go to
Receiver setup / DynDNS
.
3
Enter the hostname that you entered when registering for a DynDNS account.
4
Enter the user name and password that you entered when registering for a DynDNS account.
5
Press Save changes. The DynDNS settings are now stored. Check the event log and the
Status / Network connection
page to make sure the current receiver IP address is successfully
updated at the DynDNS service.
Please note: The APN profile used for the mobile internet setup might make it necessary to
change the HTTP port if the default HTTP port is not available. If the HTTP port has been
changed, the web interface access then requires entering the HTTP port with the receivers
hostname in the browser window. (e.g. http://my_receiver.org:5689)
