DDNS settings
DDNS servers allow you to connect to your decoder using a dynamic address. This
dynamic address needs to be registered with a DNS service. The DDNS setup menu
allows you to enable or disable DDNS and to configure it using ezDDNS, No-IP or
DynDNS.
Note: Some service providers block the default RTSP streaming port 554 used for
video streaming. So if you are not receiving video images over the internet, you may
need to change it to another value.
There are three ways to set up a DDNS account:
• ezDDNS: A free-of-charge service included with your decoder and fully managed
within the decoder interface. It is exclusive to TruVision products.
• DynDNS: A third-party service where users need to apply for a DynDNS account on
the Dyn.com website.
• No-IP: A third-party service where users need to apply for a no-IP account on the
no-ip.com website.
Caution: If you use the services of DynDNS or No-IP, your account user name and
password for these services will be sent to them in clear text format when you set up
your connection in the decoder.
To configure the DDNS settings:
1. Go to Configuration > Network > DDNS.
2. Select the Enable DDNS checkbox to enable this feature.
3. Select one of the DDNS types listed:
ezDDNS: Click the Get URL button. The URL address to access the unit is
displayed. If no host name is specified, the DDNS will allocate one automatically.
The maximum length for the host name field is 64 characters. This limit does not
include tvn-ddns.net. An example of a host name could be max64chars.tvn-
ddns.net.
