Default HTTP port number is 80. If you prefer to use a different port number, for example, 8080 for accessing
MyXerver™ Pro using AjaXplorer, then you need to
Specify port number “8080” on the MyXerver™ Pro System screen
Specify “8080” port number on your router’s Port Forwarding/Virtual Server settings.
Specify “8080” port number in your web URL address when trying to access the MyXerver™ Pro, for example
“http://<internet IP address>:8080.
C. ACCESSING YOUR MYXERVER™ PRO USING A DOMAIN NAME
You may want to use a host name instead of having to specify the internet IP address, each time you connect to your
MyXerver™ Pro. Moreover, most broadband Internet Service Providers (ISP) assign dynamic (chan ging) IP addresses, so it
may not be convenient to track what is the latest internet IP address to use.
When you use a Dynamic DNS Server Provider, your friends can enter your host name to connect to the MyXerver™ Pro,
even if the internet IP address has been changed.
Note: Your Router/Gateway must be able to support Dynamic DNS feature. Please check
the router manual for more information.
The following section gives a general description on how to configure and use Dynamic DNS feature.
1 Find a Dynamic DNS provider to register your domain name. Some popular Dynamic DNS providers are DynDNS and
TZO. You may need to purchase the domain name.
2 Enable Dynamic DNS feature in your Router/Gateway. In a typical router you will need to setup the following:
Enable the DDNS feature
Specify the DDNS service provider name
Enter the host name which you have registered with the dynamic DNS service provider (example:
http://myhost.mydomain.net)
Enter username and password provided by the DDNS service provider
3 To access the MyXerver™ Pro remotely from the internet, type http://myhost.mydomain.net.
