4-6-2. DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) allows a DNS name to be constantly synchronized with a dynamic
IP address. It allows using a dynamic IP address to be associated with a static domain name.
Once the setting is completed, the DDNS address will be:
http://hostname.ddns.specoddns.net
For example, if you enter the host name as "D4VS", then the address will be:
http://d4vs.ddns.specoddns.net
Select NETWORK>DDNS. The menu displays as below.
