DDNS

PiXORD DDNS Settings
The PiXORD DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is used when
users want to access PiXORD MVS with an easy memorized name
such as http://demo.ddns.pixord.com instead of http://61.220.235.172.
This service could be useful when PiXORD MVS is located behind
Dial-up ADSL or IP sharing devices, which does not have fix
IP address, then it's impossible to reach PiXORD NVS from
Internet.
The mechanism of PiXORD DDNS service is described as below:
When PiXORD MVS enables the DDNS service, it will "register" to PiXORD DDNS server with its information, such as server
name to access, router virtual port number and updated frequency,
etc.
Then PiXORD MVS automatically "update" to PiXORD
DDNS server by a fix frequency, so even IP is changed by ISP,
the PiXORD 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.pixord.com", PiXORD MVS could be accessed
by http://demo.ddns.pixord.com.
The PiXORD DDNS service is proprietary, which only works
with PiXORD DDNS server and PiXORD brands of products.
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 NVS Network settings should set
HTTP port with 8000.
Update Time: Specify the PiXORD NVS updated frequency in seconds,
and the default is 600 (10 minutes), this is interval that
PiXORD MVS 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 MVS 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 your register name by changing "server
name
Example: To setup a PiXORD MVS(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:
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 PiXORD MVSnetwork 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 MVS's home
page.
Click "Save Changes" bottom if needed for existing
data changed in PiXORD NVS when power off.
