4.3 Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
The Service works as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service Providers.
2. After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a Domain Name and
have it allocated to you.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the BLW-54PM's DDNS screen.
4. The BLW-54PM will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at
the DDNS server.
If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this IP address update; you should
disable the Update function, or not use the software at all.
5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using
your Domain Name.
