2.5 DynDNS setup

Dynamic WAN IP address causes difficulty for inbound connections from remote clients or IP

PBX systems. A popular work-around is to adopt domain names provided by DynDNS and run a

client on or behind the gateway router (or IP PBX). It is required to apply an account and create a

hostname in the account before configuration. Select Enable and give account info and refresh

interval to activate a DynDNS client. The client then uses Username and Password to access its

account and update the Hostname with the latest WAN IP address at DynDNS in Interval

seconds periodically.

2.5.1 Enable DynDNS

Select Enable radio button, enter the Username, Password, Hostname, and Interval, and then

click Save button. Typical hostname has a form of <hostname>.dyndns.org. The refresh interval

is usually between 60 – 600 seconds depending on the volatility of WAN IP assignment.

2.5.2 Disable DynDNS

Select Disable radio button, and then click Save button.

2.6 QoS setup

To assure the bandwidth reserved for the outgoing VoIP traffic over regular data traffic from

LAN, QoS Setup page offers three parameters to characterize the WAN link. By default QoS is

disabled since these parameters must be correctly given according to the actual WAN speed.

2.6.1 Enable QoS

Select Enable radio button, enter the WAN uplink speed, WAN downlink speed, and Uplink

VoIP reserved (bandwidth), and then click Save button. For a popular 2M/256K ADSL program,

the WAN uplink speed would be 256 and the WAN downlink speed would be 2048 since the

unit is in kbps. The Uplink VoIP reserved could be, say, 192 out of the total 256 kbps to allow 2

concurrent G.711 calls.
