by businesses that pay to register their domain with dyndns.com.

Configure the Firebox to use BIDS
Telstra customers in Australia must use client software to connect to the BigPond network. The Firebox X Edge
e-Series uses BIDS to make this connection. If you do not connect to the BigPond network, it is not necessary
to use BIDS.
To configure your Firebox to connect to the BigPond network using BIDS:
1. To connect to the System Status page, type
https:// in the browser address bar, followed by the IP
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
2. From the navigation bar, select Network > BIDS.
The BIDS client page appears.
3. To enable BIDS, select the Enable (WAN1) check box.
4. Type your login information in the User Name and Password text boxes.
5. Click Submit.
The Firebox X Edge does not operate with other Dynamic DNS services, only DynDNS.com.
