Working with DDNS
A Domain Name Service (DNS) translates human-readable host names, such as
www.promise.com
, into IP addresses, such as
103.204.15.26
, and back again.
A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is required because in many cases, IP addresses
periodically change. The DDNS enables you to keep up-to-date and stay
connected.
There are two DDNS options:
․
Provide your own DDNS server
․
Register with an online DDNS service
A free online DDNS service is available at
http://www.dyndns.com/
.

WebPASM requires the DDNS domain name, user name, and password to work
with the DDNS server. See your Network Administrator or the online DDNS
service for this information.
To make DDNS settings:
