5.3.3 DDNS
Dynamic domain name server (DDNS) maps the dynamic IP address of the
router to a fixed DNS. Each time a user connects to the Internet, the client
program will transmits the dynamic IP address of the host to the server
program on the server host. The server program provides the DDNS service and
realizes dynamic domain name resolution. In this way, you can access the
Internet by entering the domain name, even if the IP address is changed.
Method for enabling the DDNS in ER800:
1. If use Custom service, set "Method Name" as required, select "Custom" for
"Service Type", and enter the DDNS expression
"http://user name:[e-mail]/ph/update?hostname=host
name" of the server for "Url". This expression is only for reference. The real URL
is provided by the service provider (usually available on the official website of
the service provider). Click Add.
If use a common domain name server, set "Method Name" and "Service Type"
as required, enter the user name, password, and host name obtained from the
server, and click Add.
