Telstra Big Pond 

This Protocol only used for Australia’s ISP connection. 
 
Follow section 4.1 “Telstra Big Pond” for detail information. 

DNS 

Users can specify a DNS server. 

DDNS 

Users can specify a DDNS server and configure the 
username and password provided by the DDNS service 
provider. 

Click <More Configuration> at the bottom of the screen and proceed to the manual’s 

relevant sub-section. 

 

4.2.2.1 DNS 

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web 

addresses. If users type a Web address into the browser, such as www.router.com, a 

DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address. Most ISPs 

provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. If the Service Provider connects 

the user to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP 

address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that the user 

would rather use, it is necessary to specify the IP address of that DNS server in this 

section. 

 

 

Parameter 

Description 

Domain Name Server 
(DNS) Server 

This is the DNS server IP address provided by ISP. Users can 
specify preferred DNS server IP address.  

Secondary DNS 
Address (optional) 

This is optional. Users can enter another DNS server’s IP 
address as a backup. The secondary DNS will be used 
should the primary DNS fail. 

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
