4.4 Access the PMG2006-T20A Using DDNS
If you connect your PMG2006-T20A to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP address, it is
inconvenient for you to manage the device from the Internet. The PMG2006-T20A’s WAN IP address
changes dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to access the PMG2006-T20A using a domain
name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
•
Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
•
Configuring DDNS on Your PMG2006-T20A
•
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
4.4.1 Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
1
Open a browser and type
http://www.dyndns.org
.
2
Apply for a user account. This tutorial uses
UserName1
and
12345
as the username and password.
3
Log into www.dyndns.org using your account.
4
Add a new DDNS host name. This tutorial uses the following settings as an example.
• Hostname:
zyxelrouter.dyndns.org
• Service Type:
Host with IP address
• IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address that your PMG2006-T20A is currently using. You can find the IP
address on the PMG2006-T20A’s Web Configurator
Status
page.
Then you will need to configure the same account and host name on the PMG2006-T20A later.
