DDNS
From the Administration > Network > DDNS window, you can configure Dynamic
DNS Service (DDNS). DDNS allows Internet access to the server using a domain
name rather than an IP address. DDNS also maintains IP address information even
when the client received a dynamic IP assignment subject to frequent change by
the ISP. This configuration ensures that the server is always available independent
of the IP address. To use this service you must establish an account with a
dynamic DNS service provider.
To configure DDNS settings:
STEP 1 Choose Administration > Network > DDNS from the Navigation menu. The DDNS
window opens.
STEP 2 Configure the DDNS settings.

feature, you need to sign up for a DDNS service.
• Select DDNS Server—From the drop-down list, select a DDNS server. The
