C. Dynamic Domain Name Server
This appendix explains how to use the NPort 6000 with DDNS. When the NPort 6000 receive its IP address from
a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, remote servers will be unable to access it using a fixed
IP address. With DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server), a remote server can access the NPort 6000 using its
domain name instead of its IP address.
Setting up the DDNS and Port Forwarding on
NAS
To access your NAS over the Internet from home or the office, enter the IP address of the NAS in a web browser
(provided a fixed public IP is assigned to the server). However, most users have installed their NAS servers
behind a NAT router, and are using a dynamic IP for their Internet connection. It is inconvenient to memorize
an IP address such as 202.193.126.45 and to inform every user of the IP address whenever a new one is
assigned by the ISP. To enable users to access the NAS more easily with an easy to remember host name, you
can register a free DDNS account and set up the information on your NAS. From then on, you will be able to
access the NAS by your desired host name.
