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

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.
