Device Installation Dsl - D-Link DSL-2540U User Manual

Section 3 – Configuration
The Router supports Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service).
The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address to be
associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, allowing
access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. This is
enabled to allow remote access to a host by clicking a hyperlinked URL in
the form hostname.dyndns.org, Many ISPs assign public IP addresses
using DHCP, this can make it difficult to locate a specific host on the LAN
using standard DNS. If for example you are running a public web server or
VPN server on your LAN, this ensures that the host can be located from
the Internet if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an
account be setup with one of the supported DDNS providers.
Click Add to see the Add DDNS Settings section.
Enter the required DDNS information, click the Save/Apply button to save
the information.
DDNS requires that an account be setup with one of the supported
DDNS servers prior to engaging it on the Router. This function will not
work without an accepted account with a DDNS server.
Note
To access the DSL Settings window, click the DSL Setup button in the Advanced Setup directory.
