Public WAN IP address-checker server name:

For the public IP address type dynamic, this entry shows the current server name for the IP checker utility. If the public IP address type is static, no information is required.

The default location is checkip.talkswitch.com. An IP checker application is running on the server that responds to requests from units for the public IP address at its location.

Fully Qualified Domain Name:

A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) is required if this location acts as the SIP server and does not have a static public IP address from your service provider. You can obtain FQDNs for free at www.dyndns.org. If your router supports DDNS, program the required information to update the DNS servers.

If not, download one of the applications specified on the site. It needs to run on a PC connected to the same LAN to update the DNS servers. If the unit is enabled as a SIP server and no FQDN was entered, the prompt below displays.
