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: www.dydns.org/services/dydns.
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 document titled DMZ for more information on DMZs.
To set up Dynamic DNS on the Gateway:
1.Click the Set up Dynamic DNS hyperlink from the “Advanced Internet Options” window. This displays the “Set Up Dynamic DNS” window.
2.Select the Enable option.
3.Type the name provided to you by www.dydns.org in Service Username.
