8.1.4 Dynamic DNS Settings
Pepwave MAX provides the functionality to register the domain name relationships to dynamic DNS
service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service provider(s), the default public Internet
IP address of each WAN connection can be associated with a host name.
Either upon a change in IP address or every 23 days without link reconnection, Pepwave MAX will
connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP address update within the provider’s
records.

Email Address
This setting specifies the registered user name for the dynamic DNS service.
Password / TZO Key
This setting specifies the password for the dynamic DNS service.
Hosts / Domain
This field allows you to specify a list of host names or domains to be
associated with the public Internet IP address of the WAN connection.
If you need to enter more than one host, you can use a carriage return to
separate them.
Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) as well as a valid account
with a supported dynamic DNS service provider are required.
A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a WAN’s IP address changes. E.g. IP is changed after
a DHCP IP refresh, reconnection, etc.
Due to dynamic DNS service providers’ policy, a dynamic DNS host will automatically expire if the host
record has not been updated for a long time. Therefore Pepwave MAX performs an update every 23
days even if a WAN’s IP address has not changed.
