Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS Device Server plugin is enabled for newly created Device Server accounts, as specified by the default value of the Default Device Server Plugin global configuration setting. This driver simply discards any data received from the Device Server and never tries to send anything to it. It is called Dynamic DNS because it allows Device Server to login to Iotellect Server, get registered in DNS and then disconnect. It can be also used to test Device Server connections.

Despite the name of this driver, Dynamic DNS functionality is built-in to the Iotellect Server core. Dynamic DNS driver just helps Device Servers to stay connected after logging in. It acts like a "stub" that does nothing with a connected Device Server. It other words, it maintains an active connection without any actual data transfer. While the connection is active, a user can check a Device Server's status, configure, reboot or buzz it etc. See more info in the Device Servers chapter.

To ensure that Device Server will be registered in DNS upon login to Iotellect Server, check that: Dynamic DNS is enabled and properly configured in Dynamic DNS plugin properties Register in DNS setting is enabled in Device Server account settings
