PPP connection setup, enter the address 127.0.0.1 in the menu "DNS" in the
entry field "First DNS server address" (Figure 11, page 33 above, position 2), as
recommended in the basic setting. Network clients, which retrieve their IP ad-
dress as well as the DNS configuration via DHCP from the MoRoS GPRS 1.3,
will receive the IP address of the MoRoS GPRS 1.3 as the first DNS server.

For the MoRoS GPRS 1.3 to be able to forward the DNS queries to defined
name servers, enter the addresses of the according name servers in the entry
fields "First DNS server address" and "Second DNS server address" (Figure 11,
page 33 above, position 2).

Save the settings by clicking "OK" (Figure 11, page 33 above, position 3).

12.2.2

Setting up the Dynamic DNS Update

The MoRoS GPRS 1.3 can forward the IP address, which it was allocated during the dial-in
into the Internet, to a DynDNS provider, so it can be reached from the Internet with a
domain name. This means that the network behind the MoRoS GPRS 1.3 can always be
reached with the same domain name from the Internet, also for dynamically allocated IP
addresses (if the allocated IP address for incoming connections is not protected). The
MoRoS GPRS 1.3 will update the IP address connected to the domain name at the
DynDNS provider during each dialup. For this function, you will need an account with a
DynDNS provider.

Configuration with the web interface

To set up the dynamic DNS update, activate the checkbox "Activate dynamic
DNS update" in the menu "DNS" on the page "Dyn. DNS update" (Figure 12,
page 33 above, position 1).

Select a DynDNS provider from the dropdown menu "DynDNS provider"
(Figure 12, page 33 above, position 2).

To define your own DynDNS server, select the entry field "Custom server" in
the dropdown menu "DynDNS provider" (Figure 12, page 33 above, position 2),
and enter a DynDNS server in this field (Figure 12, page 33 above, position 6).

Enter the domain name that needs to be updated in the entry field "Domain
name" (Figure 12, page 33 above, position 3).

Enter the user name and password of your DynDNS account in the entry fields
"User name" and "Password" (Figure 12, page 33 above, position 5).

Save your settings by clicking "OK" (Figure 12, page 33 above, position 4).
