Configuring the Wireless Mobile Router
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Settings
Domain Name is a series of alphanumeric strings separated by periods that maps to the address of a network connection and identifies the owner of the address.
Dynamic DNS (Figure 57) provides users on the internet with a method to tie their domain name to a computer or server. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.
The Server Configuration section automatically opens the TCP port options checked in the Virtual Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server, such as a web server, and then click on the port option HTTP Port 80, so users can access your web server from the WAN connection (internet).
This DNS feature is powered by TZO.com. With a DDNS connection, you can host your own web site, email server, FTP site, and more at your own location even if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default:
Disabled).
