Section 3 - Configuration
If you have a DSL or Cable service provider that changes your modem IP address periodically, Dynamic DNS (Domain
Name Service), a method of keeping a domain name linked to a dynamic IP address, is useful. 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-5230, you can set up your DDNS service and the DCS-5230 will automatically update your
DDNS server every time it receives a different IP address. Depending on the service, this update may take a few
hours.
