4.4 Access the PMG2006-T20A Using DDNS

If you connect your PMG2006-T20A to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP address, it is
inconvenient for you to manage the device from the Internet. The PMG2006-T20A's WAN IP address
changes dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to access the PMG2006-T20A using a domain
name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
•

Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org

• Configuring DDNS on Your PMG2006-T20A
• Testing the DDNS Setting
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
