CHAPTER 6 CONFIGURING YOUR DEVICE
Configuring Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS)
This feature allows your router to use a DDNS service to associate a hosted server's domain name with a
dynamically changing internet address. To configure your router to use DDNS:
1.
From
Setup
, select
DDNS Configuration
.
2.
In the
Configuration
group, check
Enabled
.
3.
In the
Server
field, type the name of the server from which the currently assigned IP address is obtained.
4.
In the
Port
field, type the server's port number. Default is 80.
5.
In the
Max Retries
field, type the maximum number of tries that are allowed if the update fails. The
default is 5. The range is 0 to 100.
6.
In the
Update Interval
field, type the days that can pass with no IP Address change. At the end of this
interval, the existing IP Address is updated on the server so that the address does not expire. The range
of the interval you can enter is between 1 and 99 days. The default is 28 days.
7.
If you want to query the server to determine the IP address before the DDNS update, check Use Check
IP . The IP address is still assigned by the wireless provider and the DDNS is updated based on the address
returned by Check IP Server. If disabled, the DDNS update uses the IP address from the PPP link. The
default is Use Check IP.
8.
In the
Check IP Server
field, type the name to which the IP Address change is registered. Example:
members.dyndns.org
9.
In the
Check IP Port
field, type the port number of the Check IP Server. The default is 80.
