NTRIPCasterfunctiontomakeacorrectionstreamavailabledirectlyfromitsrouter,oracellphone
changingitsIPaddressasdeterminedbytheserviceprovider.Whenthisoccurs,roversystemscan
nolongerconnecttoandusethissourceofInternetcorrections.ThisDDNSfeaturecanbeused
whenyourrouterdoesnothaveaninbuiltDDNSClientorwhenyouareusingacell
phoneatthe
basestationinwhichtheIPaddressisrandomlychanging.
DDNSisoftenusedinconjunctionwithNTripCasterintheroleofanInternet‐capablebasestation.
BeforesettinguptheDDNS,dothefollowing:
 SetupthebasestationNTripCasterparameters
.
 SetupanaccountonafreeDDNSServersuchasatDynDNS(www.dyndns.com
