Dynamic Dns - Billion BiPAC 7800NL 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 fromtime
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
Dynamic DNS:
Disable: Check to disable the Dynamic DNS function.
Enable: Check to enable the Dynamic DNS function. The following fields will be activated and
required.
Wildcard: When enabled, you allow the system to lookup on domain names that do not exist to
have MX records synthesized for them.
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 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
