The Dynamic DNS is used to access the gateway remotely when the DSL or Cable Internet
service has a dynamic IP address setting. The gateway is located using the services of
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.com/).
The Dynamic DNS setting requires a hostname account with DynDNS. When the box is
checked to enable the DynDNS agent the DynDNS hostname, username and password
must be entered.
Subsequently, the DSL or cable router can be located using the hostname URL which is
resolved to an IP using the DynDNS server.
To access the gateway remotely, the DSL or Cable router must have port forwarding
enabled with a port number allocated to the GIS gateway. The port number allocated may
be appended to the hostname URL to access the gateway.
