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. This check IP server is a server the router accesses to check its current IP address.

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 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 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. Default is 80.

10.From the System drop‐down list, select the desired system registration type, either Dynamic or Custom. The default is Dynamic.

11.In the Domain field, type the registered Domain name.

Entering authentication information

Your DDNS server requires you to identify yourself before you can make changes. To do so:

1.In the Username field, type the name that can access the DDNS Server. The default is NULL. You receive your name when you register with the DDNS service.

2.In the Password field, type the password that can access the DDNS Server. The default is NULL. You receive your password when you register with the DDNS service.

Forcing a DDNS server update

To update the DDNS server with your IP address, click Update.
