DNS Server IP address:
Working with a device over the Internet dynamic IP addresses are assigned for
efficient use of the IP address pool, i.e. the device gets a new (changing) IP
address each time a connection is set up.
Connecting is easier when the device is listed on a DNS server. The device logs
in regularly leaving the device name, device IP address and the current Internet
IP address. To connect to a device over the Internet you just insert the device
name together with the URL of the DNS server which then returns the valid
Internet IP address for automatic connection set up.
The default setting for the DNS server IP address is the IP address of the VCS
DNS server videotec.info. The VIP contacts the server automatically when a
refresh time is specified in the next parameter. If e.g. the name of the VIP is
myVIP just type myVIP.videotec.info as URL to set up a connection.
Note
Assign a unique name to the VIP if you want to use this feature.
DNS refresh time:
Enter here the time interval for the VIP to contact the DNS server. You can enter
a value from 30 to 86400 sec (24 h). Leave this field empty when you don't want
to use the DNS function.
