Creating an Account on Dyn.com
Dyn Standard DNS is an update mechanism, offered by
Dynamic Network Services, Inc., through which you can make
sure the hostname of your ProFlex 800 will always match the
dynamic IP address assigned to it by your Internet provider.
This however requires that you create an account and choose
the function you want to use.
Do the following to create an account:
• Open a new tab in your web browser.
• Type http://dyn.com/dns/ and press ENTER.
• Type on the Sign In button in the upper-right corner.
• Type on the “Create Account” link.
• Enter your credentials (username, password and email)
and other information needed (safety number,
registration, policy agreement).
• Click on Create Account. You will then receive an email
containing a link allowing you to activate your account.
• Click on this link. This will open the DynDNS web site on
which you will be logged in after you have re-entered your
password. This confirms the creation of your account.
• Click on “Create Free Hostname”.
• Choose a name for your ProFlex 800 (hostname), keep
“Host with IP address” selected, and enter the current IP
address of your ProFlex 800: This is the public IP address
of the ProFlex 800, and not necessarily the one displayed
on the ProFlex 800 screen (see your IT manager for more
information). If the receiver is connected to a local
network (LAN), then a direct link must exist between the
declared public IP address and the receiver’s personal IP
address within the LAN.
• Choose the services you want to use (typically “VPN”,
“remote desktop” and “web server”).
• Click Add to Cart.
• Click on “Proceed to checkout”.
• Click on “Activate Services”.
You can now activate the update mechanism through the Web
Server. On the Web Server’s Configuration tab, select
Connections then Ethernet. In the DynDNS frame, do the
following:
• Check on the Activation button
• Keep the default address shown in the System field
