3.3. Dynamic DNS Configuration

When users connect the STS Series to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, the IP address might

be changed whenever it reconnects to the network. It can therefore be very difficult to post all related

contacts for each new IP address. In addition, if the administrator only has access through the remote

console, there is no way to know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.

A Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs or organizations to deal with the above issue. By

using the Dynamic DNS service, users can access the STS Series through the hostname registered in

the Dynamic DNS Server regardless of any IP address change.
