Dynamic DNS

Any service you provide on the Internet can be accessed via a

Domain name.

Your

router's

Public IP address

is assigned to this domain name. If your Internet service pro-

vider assigns the IP address for your local network's WAN connection dynamically, the IP
address of the router can change. The assignment to the domain name will no longer
be valid and your service will no longer be available.
In this case you must ensure that the assignment of the IP address to the domain name
is updated regularly. This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (

DynDNS

). You

can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl an individual fixed
domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
Various Internet service providers offer a free DynDNS service.
If you use the service of a DynDNS provider, your service can be reached on the Internet
as a subdomain of one of the DynDNS service domains.
One possible service is DynDNS.org (http://www.DynDNS.org). If you have activated
the device's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address. When this changes,
the device will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address there.

To use the router's DynDNS function, select Dynamic DNS from the Advanced Settings
Internet menu.

ì

Activate the Dynamic DNS function.

Note:
You must have an account with the service you have chosen (e.g. DynDNS.org) before
you can use the DynDNS function. Follow the instructions on the provider's web site.
Then enter the user data when configuring the router.
