The Gateway offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other server behind the Gateway.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at DynDNS.org or TZO.com.

Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
NAT NAT is a security feature that is Enabled by default. It enables the Gateway to translate IP addresses of your local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. To disable NAT, click the Disabled radio button.
Dynamic Routing
With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Gateway to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout. The Gateway, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other Gateways on the network.
RIP To enable RIP, click Enabled. To disable RIP, click Disabled.
