4.4 Access the P-660H-T1v3s Using DDNS
If you connect your P-660H-T1v3s to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP
address, it is inconvenient for you to manage the device from the Internet. The P-
660H-T1v3s’s WAN IP address changes dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows
you to access the P-660H-T1v3s using a domain name.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
4.4.1 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: zyxelrouter.dyndns.org
•Service Type: Host with IP address
IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address that your P-660H-T1v3s is currently
using. You can find the IP address on the Web Configurator Status page.
Then you will need to configure the same account and host name on the P-660H-
T1v3s later.
