Dynamic Dns - Billion 400G 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 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 .
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their website, for
example http://www.dyndns.org/
There are more than 5 DDNS services supported.
Dynamic DNS:
Disable: Select this option to disable the Dynamic DNS function.
Enable: Select this option to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated
and must be filled in:
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your username and
password provided by your DDNS service.
Period: Set the time period between updates. This is the interval after which your router will 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.
