This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to
connect to your Servers.
However, you can use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature to allow users to connect to your
Virtual Servers using a URL, instead of an IP Address.
Virtual Servers Screen
• The "Virtual Servers" feature allows Internet Users to access PCs on your LAN.

• For Internet Users, ALL of your Servers have the same IP address. This IP address is
allocated by your ISP.
• To make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers, you can use the "DDNS"
feature. This allows Internet users to connect to your Servers with a URL, rather than an
IP address. This technology works even if your ISP allocates dynamic IP addresses (IP
address is allocated upon connection, so it may change each time you connect).
