Setting DDNS Parameters
An endpoint can be connected to a third-party Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) server. After that, once the endpoint's domain name or IP address is changed, the change will dynamically take effect on the DNS server, ensuring that the correct IP address can be found based on the domain name. After the DDNS server is enabled and necessary parameters are defined for an endpoint, the endpoint can be managed based on its domain name.
