• A dynamic DNS, or DDNS

  A dynamic DNS is a service that provides you with a domain name or web address that stores and points to the public IP address of your system. This is useful if the network where your Tekla PowerFab server resides does not have a static public IP address.

  A script is installed on your computer or server that updates the public IP address on a regular interval. This way, if the public IP address changes for any reason, the web address still always points to the correct public IP address.

  There are several free sites that provide this service. Your internet service provider or website hosting provider may also include this already in their services.

• An A record

  If you manage your own website, you can create an A record or web address to which you can manually assign your IP address.

  If your public IP address changes, you need to manually change the A record to reflect the change in the IP address.

• A static IP address

  Note that if you use a static IP address:

  • Your internet service provider may want to charge you additional fees.
  • Trimble is not responsible for the down time due to changes in your IP address and cannot guarantee a response time to fix this issue.
