5.6 Accessing Your Network Using a Domain Name
iPECS SBG-1000’s Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service enables you to define a unique domain name
for your gateway’s Internet connection, thereby allowing you to access the gateway or your home
network’s services just by pointing the browser to this name. When using this feature, you will not
need to check and remember your gateway’s Internet IP address, which may change in case of a
disconnection from the ISP’s network.
5.6.1 Opening a Dynamic DNS Account
In order to use the DDNS feature, you must first obtain a DDNS account. iPECS SBG-1000
provides a list of DDNS servers on which you may create such an account. To view this list,
perform the following:
1. Access this feature either from the ‘DDNS’ menu item under the ‘Services’ tab, or by
clicking the ‘Personal Domain Name (Dynamic DNS)’ icon in the ‘Shortcut’ screen. The
‘Personal Domain Name (Dynamic DNS)’ screen appears.
