Setup > DDNS

You can use the DDNS page to configure the Dynamic Domain Name System

(DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic

Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server,

or other server behind the WRP400.

Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service with a DDNS

service provider, such as www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to

use this feature, keep the default setting, Disabled.

NOTE

After you enter settings on this page, click Save Settings to apply your changes, or

click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

Choose your DDNS service from the drop-down list, and then enter the

information for your service.

Setup > MAC Address Clone

A MAC address is a unique 12-digit code that is assigned to a piece of hardware

for identification. Some service providers require you to register a MAC address in

order to access the Internet. If you previously registered a MAC address with your

service provider for this purpose, you can reassign that MAC address to the

WRP400. In this sense, you are “cloning” the MAC address to be used by this

router.
