4-12 DDNS   
 
“DDNS” is an acronym for Dynamic Domain Name Service. Whenerver you set up 
the web servers, mail servers, or sometimes ftp servers,you need  a
 
“Domain Name” 
to help Internet users reach your servers easily.  
Internet actually runs on IP Addresses which are
 
numerical order, for example 
“66.37.215.53”. These IP Addresses identify the location of each device connected to 
the Internet. However, the human brain does not easily remember this numbering 
system, so a system that allocates a domain name such as “www.dyndns.org” provides 
an easier method. If you type “66.37.215.53” or “www.dyndns.org” in the web 
browser’s address bar, the browser will show the same web page. This is because both 
methods relate to the same web server. The “Domain Name Servers” used to manage 
the Internet will translate “www.dyndns.org” into the IP Address “66.37.215.53” in 
order to allow your browser to find the web server and display the correct web page in 
your browser.   
If your “WAN Connection Type”, as shown in One Page Setup section, is “Obtain IP 
Address Automatically”, “PPPoE”, or “PPTP” with dynamic IP address assigned by 
ISP, it will cause an error when you set up the public computer servers in your LAN 
side PCs. Internet users may not be able to reach your servers because your WAN side 
IP address may change each time you initiate the connection to your ISP. The DDNS 
function will help to map your IP address to your domain name when your ISP assigns 
a new dynamic IP Address. 
Note that this DDNS function acts as the client appliance of DDNS service and is only 
able to be use in conjunction with the service provided by DynDNS.org. Before you 
begin using this function, you will need to apply to DynDNS.org to be able to use the 
service. Please visit www.dyndns.org for further information.
