Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

This free service is very useful when combined

with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet

users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a

URL, rather than an IP Address.

This also solves the problem of having a dynamic

IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP

address may change whenever you connect,

which makes it difficult to connect to you.

DDNS Services work as follows:

1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.

2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your desired Domain name.

3. Enter your DDNS data on the EVR100’s DDNS screen, and enable the DDNS feature.

4. The Wireless Router will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at the DDNS service provider's Domain Name

Server.

5. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain name, as shown on this screen.
