For either e

mail or FTP, the information of the 1st server should be entered first. If the 1st server is not set,

the related FTP or email will be cancelled. Note that it may take time to connect to the 2nd server after the first

serv

er fails, and this may affect some applications when adverse conditions occur too often.

Dynamic DNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a combination of DHCP, DNS, and client registration. DDNS

allows administrators to alias the VPort’s dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains

provided by the DDNS service providers listed on the VPort’s Network/DDNS configuration page. DDNS makes

it easier to access the VPort from various locations on the Internet.

Setting Description Default

Enable DDNS Enable or disable DDNS function Disable

Provider Select the DDNS service providers, including DynDNS.org

(Dynamic), DynDNS.org (Custom), TZO.com, and dhs.org.

None

Host Name The Host Name you use to link to the VPort. None

Username/ E-mail The Username/E-mail and Password/Key are used to enable

the service from the DDNS service provider (based on the

rules

of DDNS websites).

None

Password/ Key None

NOTE

Dynamic DNS is a very useful tool for accessing a VPort over the Internet, especially

for xDSL connections with

a non

-fixed IP address (DHCP). The administrator and users can simplify connecting to a VPort with a non-

fixed

IP address, by using the unique host name in the URL to establish a connection with the VPort.

NOTE

Different DDNS

service providers have different application rules. Some applications are free of charge, but

most require an application fee.
