Dynamic Dns - BEC 8800N 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 when hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you
may use your domain name, rather than the dynamic IP address which is assigned to you by ISP.
You need to first register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/.
Click Add to enter Add Dynamic DNS screen.
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have registered an account with.
Hostname: Enter your registered hostname for this service.
Interface: Select an appropriate interface for the DDNS service from the drop-down menu.
Username/Password: Enter username and password for this service.
Click Apply/Save to confirm the settings and you will be returned to Dynamic DNS table.
Remove: To delete the DDNS entry from the table, check Remove checkbox then click Remove
button to delete the selected item.
