Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides the gateway—for which the IP address can
change—with a host name or URL that can be deciphered by network applications through
standard DNS queries. DDNS is useful when you host your own website, FTP server, or other
server behind the device.
Note: You must sign up for DDNS service before you can use this feature.
This section describes how to perform the following from the DDNS Setup page:
 Disable DDNS
 Enable and configure DDNS

To use the DDNS feature, you must first set up an account and establish a URL with
www.DynDNS.org. The DNS feature will not work without a valid account.
Follow the instructions on the website to set up an account. After you have set up a valid
account for DDNS, use the steps below to configure the gateway for DDNS service.
1. From the Setup page, click the DDNS tab.
2. Click the drop-down arrow and select Enable.
3. Enter your User Name, Password, and the name of the Host in the corresponding
fields.
4. Click the Save Settings button to save your changes.
Result: The gateway advises the DDNS service of your current WAN (Internet) IP
address whenever this address changes. (Note: The Status area of the window
displays the status of the DDNS service connection.)
