DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
The device supports DDNS If your device is connected to xDSL directly; you might need this feature.
However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature. Because
DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather than an IP address.
The name of the domain is like the name of a person, and the IP address is like his phone number.
On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (computer, server, router, and so on), and we
replace these IP numbers to easily remember names, which are organized into the domain name.
As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic IP addresses. If users want to set up a
web or an FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary. For more DDNS
configuration, please consult your dealer.
