Barricade g Wireless Router with USB Print Server

Manual

8.7 | DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

The Barricade has an integrated Dynamic DNS feature that provides users on the Internet a method

to tie their domain name(s) to computers or servers. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your

IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.

The section also has a “Server Configuration” section that automatically opens the port options

checked in the Virtual Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server, such as a web

server, and then click on the port option HTTP Port 80 so users can access your server from the

WAN connection (Internet).

There are 2 DDNS services supported by this built-in client: DynDNS.org and TZO.com.

Provider:

Choose DynDNS.org (

www.dyndns.org

) or TZO.com (

www.tzo.com

)

Domain Name:

This is the DDNS domain name you have setup with the Provider.

Account / E-mail:

TZO.com uses Account information and DynDNS.org uses an E-mail address for

[username]

Password / Key:

TZO.com uses a auto-generated dynamic key for password and DynDNS.org uses a

user-defined password.

Server IP:

Enter in the LAN IP Address of your Web Server. (ex. 192.168.2.50)

NOTE:

It is recommended that you configure any server on your Network with a static IP

addressed.
