Question:
Can I use a friendly address (DNS) at the IP field of a driver with the IOKit component? Example: ‘clp1.mydns.com‘.
Solution:
Yes, the driver’s IP field can be filled either with an IP number or a URL. When using a friendly address (URL), the driver uses the available DNS service to map the URL into an IP address.
To do so, follow the instructions on Setting up the Viewer to access a server with dynamic IP to set up your driver. Instead of channeling it to the port being used by Elipse E3 (6515), channel the specific port of this criver to the device’s address in the internal network.
