Moxa VPort 364 Industrial Video Encoder
System Configuration
5-13
NOTE
Whenever the system reboots, a system log will be sent by email or FTP to show the login status of the VPort.
The system log will be sent to the Sender email address if the SMTP server settings are correct. To send the
system log via FTP, the SMTP server should be erased since the E-mail system is used by default to transmit the
system log.
NOTE
For either e-mail or FTP, the information of the 1st server should be entered first. If the 1st server is not set,
the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take time to connect to the 2nd server after the first
server fails, and this may affect some applications when adverse conditions occur too often.
Dynamic DNS
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System)
is a combination of DHCP, DNS, and client registration. DDNS
allows administrators to alias the VPort’s dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains
provided by the DDNS service providers listed on the VPort’s Network/DDNS configuration page. DDNS makes
it easier to access the VPort from various locations on the Internet.

NOTE
Dynamic DNS is a very useful tool for accessing a VPort over the Internet, especially for xDSL connections with
a non-fixed IP address (DHCP). The administrator and users can simplify connecting to a VPort with a non-fixed
IP address, by using the unique host name in the URL to establish a connection with the VPort.
NOTE
Different DDNS service providers have different application rules. Some applications are free of charge, but
most require an application fee.
Universal PnP
UPnP (Universal Plug & Play)
is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among the
networking equipment, software, and peripherals of the 400+ vendors that are part of the Universal Plug and
Play Forum. This means that they are listed in the network devices table for the operating system (such as
Windows XP) supported by this function. Users can link to the VPort directly by clicking on the VPort listed in the
network devices table.
