DDNS

DDNS
This service could be useful when the PiXORD NC is located behind
Dial-up ADSL or IP sharing devices, which does not have fix
IP address, then it's impossible to reach PiXORD NC from Internet.
The P300 supports two DDNS services: DynDNS and Pixord's DDNS,
both for free.
The PiXORD DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is used when users
want to access PiXORD NC with an easy memorized name such as
http://pixordNC.pixord.com instead of http://61.220.235.172.
The mechanism of DDNS service is described as below:
When PiXORD Nc enables the DDNS service, it will "register"
the device to the DDNS server with its information, such as
server name to access, router virtual port number and updated
frequency, etc.
Then PiXORD NC automatically "update" to PiXORD DDNS
server by a fix frequency, so even IP is changed by ISP, the
DDNS server still could get and update internal database.
DynDNS
DDNS Host Name: The device supports the
usage of the DDNS feature through DynDns.
Account ID: enter the username provided by DynDns
Password: enter the respective password for the account
Once the device has changed into a new public IP Address,
DynDNS server will be notified, and the domain will be updated
to the latest public IP Address
Once the device has changed into a new public IP Address,
DynDNS server will be notified, and the domain will be updated
to the latest public IP Address
Other DDNS - Pixord
The PiXORD DDNS service is proprietary,
which only works with PiXORD DDNS server and PiXORD brands
of products.
Device Name: Specify the name that Pixord NC will have in
the DDNS database
Dynamic DNS Activate: Click on to activate PiXORD DDNS service.
Dynamic DNS Address: Specify address of PiXORD DDNS server,
and the default is "ddns.pixord.com"
Dynamic DNS Port: Specify PiXORD DDNS server listen port,
and the default is "80"
Router Incoming Port: Specify your router listen port for
PiXORD DDNS server to redirect. The router may configure the
different port for incoming (Internet request) and outgoing
(Intranet request), e.g. it may configure to redirect Internet
HTTP (port 80) request to Intranet port 8000, then, in this
case, we must configure the "Router Incoming Port"
to 80, and inside the PiXORD NC Network settings should set
HTTP port with 8000.
Update Time: Specify the PiXORD NC updated frequency in seconds,
and the default is 600 (10 minutes), this is interval that
PiXORD NC will automatically send an updated packet to PiXORD
DDNS server.
DDNS message: Return messages from remote PiXORD DDNS server,
and some hints may help to diagnostic the reason if register
fails.
ddnsaddr CGI fail: It means that PiXORD NC can't communicate
with Internet world. Make sure your Network Configuration
has correct subnet mask and default gateway, and DNS1 setting
is correct and reachable.
Already registered: Another user had registered this name;
please change the name to be registered in the DDNS server
at Device Name.
Click "Submit" to valid the changes
made.
Then, once users access from Internet with
its register name, e.g. if registering with server name "demo"
to DDNS server "ddns.pixord.com", PiXORD NVS could
be accessed by http://demo.ddns.pixord.com.
Example: To setup a PiXORD NC (IP address 192.168.0.200) behind
a dialup ADSL router, and wish to access by name http://demo.ddns.pixord.com.
And, the procedure is as below:
Additional Notes:
Configure the ADSL router with PPPoE enable; Lan IP, 192.168.0.254;
and subnet mask, 255.255.255.0.
Assign the ADSL router's virtual server with service port
80 to server IP 192.168.0.200
Configure PiXORD200 network configuration with IP address
192.168.0.200; subnet 255.255.255.0; DNS1 with valid DNS address
such as 168.95.192.1 or 168.95.1.1; gateway IP address with
192.168.0.254 (router's IP); HTTP port with port 80.
Configure server name in chapter 5.1.1 Server General Settings
with "demo".
Configure DDNS with Activate; Address "ddns.pixord.com";
DDNS with port 80; Router Incoming port 80; and update time
with 600 (10 minutes). Finally, clicks submit.
If DDNS message success, then enter URL http://demo.ddns.pixord.com
on browser. Consequentially, it will show PiXORD NC's home
page.
DDNS Host Name: The device supports the
usage of the DDNS feature through DynDns.
Account ID: enter the username provided by DynDns
Password: enter the respective password for the account
