Activating dynamic DNS
A service which you wish to provide on the Internet can be accessed by a
Your router's
is assigned to this Domain name. If your Internet Service
Provider assigns the IP address for your local network's WAN connection dynamically,
then the IP address of the router may change. The assignment to the Domain name will
no longer be valid and your service will no longer be available.
In this case you must ensure that the assignment of the IP address to the Domain name
is regularly updated. This is handled by the dynamic DNS Service (
). You can use
the DynDNS service to assign your Gigaset Router an individual static Domain name on
the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
There are various providers on the Internet offering free DynDNS Service. The Gigaset
SE505 dsl/cable uses the DynDNS Service from
DynDNS.org
If you use the service of this DynDNS provider, then your service can be reached on the
Internet as a subdomain of one of the DynDNS.org domains.
If you have activated the router's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address.
When this changes, it will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address
there.
