Dynamic DNS
Use the dynamic DNS advanced option to set up dynamic DNS. Dynamic DNS translates IP addresses
into alphanumeric names. For example, an IP address of 333.136.249.80 could be translated into
siemens.com. To use the DDNS service, you must register for the service. You can register from the
following web page:

Once registered, you must set up your DNS data on the Gateway. Once this is done users can connect to
your servers (or DMZ computer) from the Internet using your Domain name. Refer to the section in this
