Description
Some DDNS servers require the connection parameters to be included directly in the URL. This article will describe how to use wildcards when connecting to a custom-type DDNS.
Requirement
● Milesight Routers: UR3x with firmware version 3x.0.0.7-r4 and later
● Milesight Gateways: UG56 with firmware version 56.0.0.5 and later, UG65/67 with firmware version 60.0.0.45 and later
Configuration
Step 1: Correctly configure the original connection parameters provided by the DDNS service on the router’s web interface.
Username: test
Password: password
Server: test.com
Server Path: http://test.com/upd.php?user=USER&pwd=PASS&host=HOST
Step2: Replace the corresponding parameters in the original Path with the following wildcards.
%h: hostname
%i: ip address
%u: username
%p: password
%0: domain name
%1: subdomain
For example, in the appeal case, the replaced Server Path is:
http://test.com/upd.php?user=%u&pwd=%p&host=%h
Step 3: Contact Milesight IoT Support
If you have replaced the parameters in the path with wildcards as described in Step 2 and the connection still fails, follow the steps below to collect logs after the connection fails and share them with Milesight IoT Support.
