5.2.2 Configuring Dynamic DNS

The access point supports the Dynamic DNS service. Dynamic DNS (or DynDNS) is a feature offered
by www.dyndns.com which allows the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned IP
addresses via the WAN port. When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes, the new
IP address is sent to the DynDNS service and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the new
IP address.

To configure dynamic DNS for the access point:

1.

Select

Network Configuration

->

WAN

->

DynDNS

from the access point menu tree.

Start Port and End Port Enter the port or ports used by the port forwarding service. To

specify a single port, enter the port number in the

Start Port

area.

To specify a range of ports, use both the

Start Port

and

End Port

options to enter the port numbers. For example, enter 110 in the
Start Port field and 115 in the End Port field.

IP Address

Enter the numerical (non DNS name) IP address to which the
specified service is forwarded. This address must be within the
specified NAT range for the associated WAN IP address.

Translation Port

forwarded.

Use the

checkbox to enable

port forwarding for incoming packets with unspecified ports. In the

packets. This number must be within the specified NAT range for
the associated WAN IP address.

NOTE

DynDNS supports only the primary WAN IP address.
