Dynamic Dns - Billion M500 User Manual

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 internet 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). But note that first users have
to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account.
Dynamic DNS: Select this check box to activate Dynamic DNS.
Service Provider: Select from drop-down menu for the appropriate service provider, for example:
www.dyndns.org.
My Host Name: Type the domain name assigned to your router by your Dynamic DNS provider.
Username: Type your user name.
Password: Type the password.
Wildcard support: Select this check box to enable DYNDNS Wildcard.
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS
server. In addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when
your dynamic IP address changes.
