Dynamic DNS [Router Mode]
If the access point is in router mode, with Dynamic DNS (DDNS), you can use the Internet
and a domain name to access a storage device that is attached to the access point when
you are not in your office or home. If you know the IP address of the access point (and
the IP address did not change), you can also access the storage device by using the IP
address. If you use OpenVPN software to set up VPN tunnels, the access point requires
an account with a Dynamic DNS service.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• About Dynamic DNS [router mode]
• Set up a new Dynamic DNS account [router mode]
• Use an existing Dynamic DNS account [router mode]
• Change the Dynamic DNS account settings [router mode]
For information about using DDNS if you set up the access point as a VPN server with
OpenView, see About setting up an OpenVPN connection [router mode] on page 184.
Note: The information in this chapter does not apply if the access point is in access
point mode.
