Obtain DNS from DHCP:
DNS: Stands for Domain Name System.
Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the network and provide
DNS service.
Primary DNS and Secondary DNS:
If you do not select Obtain DNS from DHCP, then you need to enter these parameters
manually.
HTTP Port:
The device supports two HTTP ports. The first one is default port 80 and this port is
fixed. This port is very useful for Intranet usage. The second HTTP port is changeable.
Users could assign the second port number of http protocol, and the WAN users
should follow the port number to login. If the http port is not assigned as 80, users have
to add the port number in back of IP
.
Therefore, the user can access the device by either
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/
, or
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/
to access the device.
If multiple devices are installed on the LAN and also required to be accessed from the
WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the virtual server port mapping to
support multiple devices.
Click “OK” to save and enable the setting.
DDNS service
DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) provides you at least one IP address which you use to
connect to the Internet. The address you get may be static, meaning it never changes, or
dynamic, meaning it’s likely to change periodically. Just how often it changes, depends on
your ISP. A dynamic IP address complicates remote access since you may not know what
your current WAN IP address is when you want to access your device over the Internet.
One of the possible solutions to the dynamic IP address problem comes in the form of a
dynamic DNS service.
