15.10 Personal Domain (Dynamic DNS)
If you click Advanced in the top navigation menu and then select the Personal Domain Name link, the following
screen will appear.
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server) a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static hostname, allowing a computer
on the network to be more easily accessible from the Internet. Typically, when connecting to the Internet, the service
provider assigns an unused IP address from a pool of IP addresses, and this address is used only for the duration of a
specific connection. Dynamically assigning addresses extends the usable pool of available IP addresses, while
maintaining a constant domain name. This allows to user to access a device from a remote location, since the device
will always have the same IP address.
When using Dynamic DNS, each time the IP address provided by the service provider changes, the DNS database
changes accordingly to reflect the change. If the IP address of the computer changes often, its domain name remains
constant and accessible.
NOTE: To use Dynamic DNS, you must subscribe to this service via your service provider.
To configure a new dynamic DNS entry, click the New Dynamic DNS Entry link.
