DCS-900 Configuration
Advanced > System
Assign Automatically Using
These options are recommended only for advanced users and network administrators
since it may be difficult to determine the IP Address of the unit after the IP Address
has been automatically asssigned. It is recommended that an IP Address be assigned
manually.
If your network is using RARP, BOOTP, or DHCP Server you can Click Assign
Automatically Using and click on RARP, BOOTP or DHCP. Under this setting the
DCS-900 will automatically assign an IP Address from the RARP, BOOTP or DHCP
Server. Each time the DCS-900 starts up, be sure the RARP, BOOTP or DHCP Server
is set up to assign an IP address to your DCS-900.
If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the DCS-
900's RJ-45 LAN port and you also have an ISP PPPoE account, click on PPPoE and
enter the Service Name, User ID and Password into the respective fields.
The DCS-900 will get an IP Address from the ISP each time it starts up.
DNS IP Address:
DNS (Domain Name Service) is an Internet service that translates domain names (ie.
www.dlink.com) into IP Addresses (ie. 64.7.210.132). The DNS IP Address can be
obtained from your ISP.

Dynamic DNS:

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service) is a method of keeping a domain name linked to
a changing (dynamic) IP address. With most Cable and DSL connections, you are
assigned a dynamic IP address and that address is used only for the duration of that
specific connection. With the DCS-900, you can setup your DDNS service and the DCS-
900 will automatically update your DDNS server every time it receives a different IP
address.
