DynDNS.org DDNS Service: You must create your account at DynDNS.org before you can successfully register the IP address of your Digi device with their service. Please familiarize yourself with their service options and requirements, in order to most effectively use this feature of your Digi device.

This DDNS service supports only public IP addresses. If you have a private IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), your update requests will be rejected.

Host and Domain Name: The fully qualified host and domain name you have

registered with your service provider. An example is: myhost.dyndns.net.

DynDNS User Name: The user name for the account you have created with your service provider.

DynDNS Password: The password for the account you have created with your service provider.

DynDNS DDNS System: The system for the account you have created with your service provider. DynDNS.org supports a number of different services, which vary by the system you select. The available choices are:

–Dynamic DNS

–Static DNS

–Custom DNS

Use Wildcards: Enables/disables wildcards for this host. The available choices for this option are:

–Disable wildcards

–Enable wildcards

–No change to service setting

According to wildcard documentation at DynDNS.org: “The wildcard aliases *.yourhost.ourdomain.tld to the same address as yourhost.ourdomain.tld.”

Using this option in the settings for your Digi device has the same effect as selecting the wildcard option on the DynDNS.org website. To leave the wildcard option unchanged from the current selection on their web site, use the “no change” option in the device settings. Note that DynDNS.org support for this option may vary according to the DynDNS system you are registered to use.

Connection Method: The connection method to try when connecting to your service provider to register your IP address. DynDNS.org supports three methods to connect. The available choices are:
