Network Storage System wth 2 Bays
DDNS
The Network Storage System offers a Dynamic Domain
Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed
host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address,
so you can locate the Network Storage System without
knowing its dynamic Internet IP address.
For example, assign the Network Storage System the fixed
host and domain name of www.mystorage.com. When
you travel, you can find the Network Storage System at
www.mystorage.com (the DDNS service provider keeps
track of the dynamic Internet IP address of the Network
Storage System.)
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up
for DDNS service with TZO, a DDNS service provider at
www.tzo.com. Click
Sgn up for a TZO DDNS account
.
NOTE:
To use the DDNS feature of the Network
Storage System, configure port forwarding on
your network router. For more information,
refer to the router’s documentation.
