Chapter 10 System Tools
10.1 Time Settings
This section is to configure the router's system time. You can set it manually or obtain the
GMT time from the Internet.
Time zone: Select the time zone where you are operating the Router from the
drop-down list.
Customized time: Enter the time you wish to configure.
NOTE:
When the Router is powered off, the time settings will be lost. The router will obtain
the GMT time automatically when you next time access the Internet. Only when you
connect to the Internet and obtain the GMT time or set the time on this screen, can
the time settings in other functions (e.g. security settings) take effect.
10.2 DDNS
The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is supported in this Router. It is used to
assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. Every time you
access the Internet, the dynamic domain name software installed on your host will tell the
ISP'S host server its dynamic IP address by sending messages. And the server software is
responsible for providing DNS service and implementing dynamic domain name resolution.
Main features:
1. Mostly, your ISP provides a dynamic IP address and the DDNS is used to capture
the changeable IP address and match to the fixed domain. Then users can have
access to the Internet to communicate with others outside the network.
2. DDNS can help you to establish a virtual host in your home or company.
DDNS: Click the radio button to enable or disable the DDNS service.
Service provider: Select one from the drop-down list and click "Sign up" for
registration.
Username: Enter the username that you use to register from the DDNS provider
Password: Enter the password that you use to register from the DDNS provider
