Chapter 22 General Setup

Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use Dynamic DNS

To configure Dynamic DNS, go to Menu 1 — General Setup and select Yes in the Edit 
Dynamic DNS field. Press [ENTER] to display Menu 1.1— Configure Dynamic DNS as 
shown next.

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding 

IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because 

without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. 

The Prestige uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve 

domain names for DDNS and the time server.
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select an option. Select From ISP if 

your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the Prestige's WAN IP 

address). The IP Address field below displays the (read-only) DNS server IP 

address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS 

server's IP address in the IP Address field. If you select User-Defined, but leave 

the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you save your 

changes. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP 

address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you save your 

changes.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure 

a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when configuring DDNS and 

the time server.

Edit Dynamic DNS Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Yes or No (default). Select Yes 

to configure Menu 1.1: Configure Dynamic DNS discussed next.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm…” to 

save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
