Dynamic Dns - Billion BiPAC 6200WZL R2 User Manual

Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your ISP
does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially useful for
hosting servers via your 3G 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.
You first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website,
for example http://www.dyndns.org/.
Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function.
Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The fields following are activated and required.
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Wildcard: Select this check box to enable the DYNDNS Wildcard.
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username
and password for this service.
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.
