Dynamic IP Address
If the ISP has provided a dynamic IP address, then a free
dynamic DNS service is recommended. There are many
free dynamic DNS services available. tekmar suggests to
use a free service from No-IP.

STEP 1) Go to the web site at http://www.no-ip.com
STEP 2) Create an account.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTE:
An e-mail address is used to activate the No-IP account.
The same e-mail account cannot be used again to create
another No-IP account. Therefore, it is recommended to
use the building owner’s e-mail address. This requires the
building owner to read the e-mail and click on the link to
activate the No-IP service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP 3) Open the e-mail sent from No-IP and click on

the link to activate the account. This must be
done within 48 hours of creating the account.

STEP 4) Go to web site at http://www.no-ip.com and login

using your account information.

STEP 5) Click “Add a host”.

STEP 6) Enter the desired hostname and the domain

using the pull down menu. Record the hostname
and domain name for future reference. Click
“Add a Host”.

STEP 7) A confirmation page with all the settings will be

shown.

All No-IP settings are now complete and you can logout
of the No-IP web site. Now the No-IP update client must
be installed on the Mac web host computer.

STEP 8) Download the No-IP Dynamic DNS Update

Client software for Mac at http://www.no-ip.com/
downloads.php

STEP 9) Install the software to the Applications folder.

The computer username and password may be
required.

STEP 10) Click on Finder, then click on the Applications

Folder.

to start.
