Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static hostname in any of a selection of domains,

allowing the router to be more easily accessed from various locations on the internet.

Figure 17: Advanced - DNS - Dynamic DNS

Note: The Add/Remove buttons will be displayed only if the router has been assigned an IP address from the remote

server.

To add a dynamic DNS service, click the Add button and the following screen will display.

The DSL advanced settings relate to test mode settings. The default selection is ‘Normal’.

ADSL Tone Settings

For ADSL Tone Settings select the ‘Tone Selection’ button on the DSL Advan

ced Settings page.

The frequency band of ADSL is split up into 256 separate tones, each spaced 4.3125kHz apart. With each tone carrying separate

data, the technique operates as if 256 separate routers were running in parallel. The tone range is from 0 to 31 for upstream traffic

and from 32 to 255 for downstream traffic. Do not change these settings unless you are directed by your Internet Service

Provider.

UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols that can allow networked devices, such as computers, printers,

WiFi access points and mobile phones to automatically detect each other's presence on the network and establish functional

network services for data sharing, communications, and entertainment.

shown below. Click Apply/Save to continue.

Figure 23: Advanced - DNS Proxy

The Host Name and Domain name are combined to form a unique label that is mapped to the router IP address. This can be used

to access the user interface of the router with a local name rather than by using the router IP address.
