4.5.18 Set DDNS Refresh time

Select [T] from the menu and press ENTER.

>>>t

Enter DDNS Refresh Time

Rate in seconds >>>

Input the number of seconds between refreshes of the DDNS information. If you press

ENTER without typing in anything the previous value is retained.

When the refresh time expires the node does a DNS lookup on its own DDNS name to see

if its own NAT routers' IP address has changed. If its IP address has changed it will then

notify the other nodes in the channel to update their record of the changed nodes IP

address.The refresh time determines how long the node goes between checks of its IP

address. In addition, when the refresh time expires, the node also does a DNS lookup on

any nodes in its channel list with zero stored for their IP addresses.

Select [V] from the menu and press ENTER.

>>>v

Enter DNS Server #0 IP address[0.0.0.0] >>>

Enter DNS Server #1 IP address[0.0.0.0] >>>

Enter DNS Server #2 IP address[0.0.0.0] >>>

the node will prompt in order for the IP address for each of the three IP servers. Enter the

IP addresses in the format shown (xx.xxx.xx.xx). If you press ENTER without typing in

anything the previous value is retained.

Select [L] from the menu and press ENTER. This will force an immediate DNS lookup of

the nodes IP address. The DDNS IP address displayed on the screen will be updated. This

can be used in setup and testing to make sure the DNS lookups work.

Select [Q] from the Main Menu and press ENTER. The main processor on the Gadget-

Gateway will reboot. This makes it easier to reboot when changing conﬁgurations such as

852 to 852 bridging mode or when changing the web server port. A few seconds after the

reboot selection is executed the GG boot up screens will be displayed.
