Static Route
Enter the destination network address, subnet mask, gateway AND/OR the available WAN
interface, then click “Add” to add a new entry to the routing table.
Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function lets you alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, so if your
ISP does not assign you a static IP address you can still use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you
may use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes
from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned
to you by your ISP.
You first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
Dynamic DNS Server: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Domain Name, Username and Password: Enter your registered domain name and your
username and password for this service.
Period: Enter the length of period in the blank, you can set the period unit in day (d), hour (H) or
month (M).
Wildcard: When enabled, you allow the system to lookup on domain names that do not exist to
have MX records synthesized for them.
