The IP address updates when you reconfigure menu 1 or perform DHCP client renewal.
IP Address
Update Policy:
You can select Yes in either the Let DDNS Server Auto Detect field (recommended)
or the Use User-Defined field, but not both.
With the Let DDNS Server Auto Detect and Use User-Defined fields both set to No,
the DDNS server automatically updates the IP address of the host name(s) with the
LAN-Cell’s WAN IP address.
DDNS does not work with a private IP address. When both fields are set to No, the
LAN-Cell must have a public WAN IP address in order for DDNS to work.
Let DDNS
Server Auto
Detect
Only select this option when there are one or more NAT routers between the LAN-
Cell and the DDNS server. Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and then press
[ENTER] to have the DDNS server automatically detect and use the IP address of the
NAT router that has a public IP address.
Note: The DDNS server may not be able to detect the proper IP
address if there is an HTTP proxy server between the LAN-Cell
and the DDNS server.
Use User-
Defined
Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and then press [ENTER] to update the IP address
of the host name(s) to the IP address specified below.
Only select Yes if the LAN-Cell uses or is behind a static public IP address.
Use WAN IP
Address
Enter the static public IP address if you select Yes in the Use User-Defined field.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm…” to
save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
