modem and can be connected directly with the cable line.
DDNS
short for Dynamic Domain Name System
DDNS is a service which allows a computer always to be
reached under the same domain name despite constantly
changing public IP addresses. This means the home network
can always be reached from the Internet, regardless of the us-
er’s location. Even private users have an economical way of
placing their own Internet offers on their computer at home.
Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet
service provider assigns a new public IP address.
Each time the IP address changes, the current IP address is
transmitted to a special DDNS server. Except for the few sec-
onds between the cancellation of the old IP address and the
notification of the new IP address, the computer can always
be reached at the selected domain name.
DECT
short for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications
DECT is a European standard for cordless telephony which
was drafted by the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute in 1991 and officially adopted in 1992. DECT defines
the air interface between a mobile handset and its base sta-
tion, and supports both voice transmission and data trans-
mission with flexible transfer speeds.
