Configure DDNS

Configure DDNS in Wi-Point3G

The Mobile IP address of the Digi Wi-Point 3G may vary each time it dials and connects to the

Mobile Carrier. It may be inconvenient to check the Mobile IP address each time.

The Digi Wi-Point3G offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature to address this

issue. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet Mobile IP

address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other services

through a dial up PPP link.

Applying for dynamic DNS name from www.dyndns.com

Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at www.DynDNS.com,

currently the Digi-Wipoint3G supports only this DDNS service provider. It only takes a couple of

minutes for you to establish an account for the Wi-Point3G.

• Go to http://www.dyndns.com

.

• Register an account and then activate it.

• Apply a dynamic DNS service with postfix of “dyndns.org”, for example,

“myhost.dyndns.org”.

• Check and make sure that the registrations were successful.

If you encounter any problem during the registration please contact www.dyndns.com for

Technical Support.

How to setup your dynamic DNS name on Digi-Wi-Point3G

The next step is to configure the Wi-Point3G. This also only takes a couple of minutes.

“Configuration”->”Network”->”Dynamic DNS Update Settings”page.
