Activating Dynamic Dns - Gigaset SE105 Owner's Manual

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Activating dynamic DNS

A service you want to make available on the Internet is accessible via a Domain name.
Your router's Public IP address is assigned to this Domain name. If your Internet Service
Provider for your local network's WAN connection assigns the IP address dynamically,
the IP address of the router can change. Then the assignment to the Domain name is no
longer valid and your service will no longer be available.
In this case you must ensure that the assignment of the IP address to the Domain name
is regularly updated. This is handled by the dynamic DNS Service (DynDNS). You can use
the DynDNS service to assign your Gigaset Router an individual static Domain name on
the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
There are various providers on the Internet offering free DynDNS Service. The Gigaset
Router uses the DynDNS Service from DynDNS.org
(http://www.DynDNS.org). If you use the service of this DynDNS provider, then your
service can be reached on the Internet as a subdomain of one of the DynDNS.org
domains.
If you have activated the router's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address.
When this changes, it will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address
there.
You have to open an account with DynDNS.org before you can use the router's DynDNS
function. Follow the instructions on the DynDNS.org website. Then enter the account
user data when configuring the router.
