Dynamic DNS
Any service you provide on the Internet can be accessed by a
Domain name.
Your
router's
Public IP address
is assigned to this domain name. If your Internet service pro-
vider assigns the IP address for your local network's WAN connection dynamically, the IP
address of the router can 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 updated regularly. This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (
DynDNS
). You
can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl an individual static
domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
Various Internet providers offer a free DynDNS service. If you use the service of a
DynDNS provider, your service can be reached on the Internet as a subdomain of one of
the DynDNS service domains.
One possible service is
DynDNS.org
(http://www.DynDNS.org). If you have activated
the device's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address. When this changes,
the device will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address there.
ì
To use the router's DynDNS function, select
Dynamic DNS
from the
Advanced
Settings
–
Internet
menu.
ì
Activate the
Dynamic DNS
function.
ì
Select a service from the
Service provider
list.
Note:
You must have an account with the service you have chosen (e.g. DynDNS.org) before
you can use the DynDNS function of the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. Follow the instruc-
tions on the provider's web site. Then enter the user data when configuring the
router.
