Using Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

Using Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Port Forwarding feature. It allows Internet users to connect to user-defined servers using a URL, rather than an IP address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address, since these change when- ever a connection is made. The service works as follows:

1.Register for the service at one of the listed DDNS service providers.

2.After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a domain name.

3.Enter the DDNS data on the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router's DDNS screen.

4.The APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router will then automatically ensure that the current IP address is recorded at the DDNS server.

If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this IP address update; disable the Update function, or do not use the software at all.

5.From the Internet, users will be able to connect to the user-defined servers (or DMZ PC) using the specified domain name.

When DDNS is selected, a screen similar to the following displays.
