3.3. Dynamic DNS Configuration

When users connect the Pro Series to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, the IP address might

be changed whenever it reconnects to the network. It can therefore be very difficult to post all related

contacts for each new IP address. In addition, if the administrator only has access through the remote

console, there is no way to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.

A Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs or organizations to deal with the above issue. By

using the Dynamic DNS service, users can access the Pro Series through the hostname registered in

the Dynamic DNS Server regardless of any IP address change.

By default, the Pro Series only supports Dynamic DNS service offered at Dynamic DNS Network

Services, LLC (

www.dyndns.org

). Contact Sena technical support for issues regarding other Dynamic

DNS service providers.

To use the Dynamic DNS service provided by Dynamic DNS Network Services, the user must set up

an account in their Members’ NIC (Network Information Center -

http://members.dyndns.org

). The user

may then add a new Dynamic DNS Host link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services

Members NIC.

After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, the user must enter

the registered Domain Name, User Name, and Password. After applying the configuration change,

users can access the Pro Series using only the Domain Name.

Figure 3-4 shows the Dynamic DNS configuration web interface.
