Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing
users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may
use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time
to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by your
ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es).
Click Add to register a WAN interface with a DDNS Provider.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Host Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username and
password for this service.
Period: Set the time period on how often the MX-1000 will update the DDNS server with your current
external IP address.
WAN Interface: Select the Interface that is bound to the registered Domain name. Pick a desirable
WAN interface from Available WAN Interface box then using the left-arrow sign () to move it to the
Selected WAN Interface box
To remove WAN interface(s) from Selected WAN Interface box, simply click the unwanted interface
then use the right-arrow sign () to re move it.
