4.4.2 Manual DNS Configuration

The manual DNS configuration is used to select a DNS server 
other than the one automatically supplied by the wireless net-
work. To configure the manual DNS :

1. Enter an IP address for the primary DNS server in the 
Primary DNS Server box.

2. Optionally enter the IP address for a secondary DNS server 
in the Secondary DNS Server box.

3. Enter the DNS domain in the DNS Domain box.

4. Click the Update button at the bottom of the page to com-
mit the changes.

The MRD-3xx will now use the DNS Server at the supplied IP 
addresses for all DNS requests.

4.4.3 Dynamic DNS Client Configuration

Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name 
data held in a name server to be updated in real time. The 
most common use for this is in allowing an Internet domain 
name to be assigned to a device with a dynamic IP address. 
Depending on the system used by the wireless provider the 
MRD-3xx may receive a dynamic IP address, using this service 
it may be possible to establish connections to the MRD-3xx 
without needing to track the IP address of the MRD-3xx. This 
makes it possible for other sites on the Internet to establish 

connections to the machine without needing to track the IP 
address themselves.

Note: Some service providers do not allow access to dynam-
ic IP address, so even though the Dynamic DNS client will 
connect and register the IP address provided to the MRD-3xx 
unit, all attempts to connect to that IP address will fail.

In order to use the Dynamic DNS feature of the MRD-3xx 
you will first need to register at a Dynamic DNS provider, the 
MRD-3xx supports the follwoing providers:
