Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) allows a DNS name to be
constantly synchronized with a dynamic IP address. In other words, it
allows using a dynamic IP address to be associated with a static
domain name so others can connect to it by the static name.
Enable/disable using domain name address through DDNS server.

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) allows a DNS name to be constantly synchronized with a dynamic
IP address. It allows using a dynamic IP address to be associated with a static domain name.
Once the setting is completed, the DDNS address will be:
http://hostname.ddns.specoddns.net
For example, if you enter the host name as “D4VT”, then the address will be:
http://d4VT.ddns.specoddns.net
Select NETWORK>DDNS. The menu displays as below.
