BEC 4700A / 4700AZ User Manual
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
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 internet 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 from time
to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by
your ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS Providers.
If you do not have a DDNS account, please choose a DDNS Service Provider from the list then go to
their website to create an account first.

Service Provider: Select from drop-down menu for the appropriate service provider, for example:

provider.
Username / Password: Enter the username and password of the account you created with this
service provider.

Period: Set the time period on how often the BEC 4700A/AZ will update the DDNS server with your
