4.8 Access the WiMAX Device Using DDNS
If you connect your WiMAX Device to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP
address, it is inconvenient for you to manage the device from the Internet. The
WiMAX Device’s WAN IP address changes dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
allows you to access the WiMAX Device using a domain name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
• Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
• Configuring DDNS on Your WiMAX Device
• Testing the DDNS Setting
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address (see Private IP Addresses on page 198),
then you cannot use DDNS.
4.8.1 Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
1 Open a browser and type http://www.dyndns.org.
2 Apply for a user account. This tutorial uses UserName1 and 12345 as the
username and password.
3 Log into www.dyndns.org using your account.
4 Add a new DDNS host name. This tutorial uses the following settings as an
example.
• Hostname: mywimax.dyndns.org
•Service Type: Host with IP address
• IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address that your WiMAX Device is currently
using. You can find the IP address on the WiMAX Device’s Web Configurator
Status page.
Then you will need to configure the same account and host name on the WiMAX
Device later.
