Chapter 9-10. DDNS Settings
The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is used when users want to access IP Fast Dome
with an easy memorized name such as http://demo.ddns.meritlilin.com instead of
http://61.220.235.172.
This service could be useful when IP Fast Dome is located behind Dial-up ADSL or IP sharing
devices, which does not have fix IP address, then it's impossible to reach IP Fast Dome from
Internet.
The mechanism of DDNS service is described as below :
1. When IP Fast Dome enables the DDNS service, it will "register" to DDNS server with its
information, such as server name to access, router virtual port number and updated
frequency, etc.
2. Then IP Fast Dome automatically "update" to DDNS server by a fix frequency, so even IP is
changed by ISP, the DDNS server still could get and update internal database.
Then, once users access from Internet with its register name, e.g. If registering with server
name "demo" to DDNS server "ddns.meritlilin.com", IP Fast Dome could be accessed by
http:// demo.ddns.meritlilin.com.
Note : The DDNS service is proprietary, which only works with DDNS server and LILIN
brands products.
