Figure 9. Network interfaces of the EZPlatform™


WAN IP Settings


IP address mode: how to assign an IP address to the WAN side of the EZPlatform™

ƒ Static: manually assign an IP address.
ƒ DHCP: make the EZPlatform™ act as a DHCP client so that a DHCP server can

automatically configure its IP settings.


IP address: the unique network address of the EZPlatform™ in the WAN.

Subnet mask: the mask that logically organized the IP address into its corresponding
subnetwork.

Default gateway: the device which will act as the agent for IP addresses that are outside the
WAN subnet.

Preferred DNS server: the server that will perform translation between URLs and IP addresses

Alternate DNS server: the server that will resolve DNS requests if the preferred DNS server is
not available.

DDNS certificate: the DDNS feature of the EZPlatform™ is designed to work with the DDNS
implementation of freedns.afraid.org. The certificate issued by freedns.afraid.org will allow the
EZPlatform™ to periodically send IP address updates to freedns.afraid.org so that your URL is
always mapped in DNS to the EZPlatform™, even if the IP address of the EZPlatform™
changes. To obtain a DDNS certificate, go to
