The Setup Tab > DDNS
The Gateway offers a Dynamic Domain Name System
(DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful
when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or
other server behind the Gateway.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for
DDNS service at DynDNS.org or TZO.com.

Operating Mode
NAT
NAT is a security feature that is
Enabled
by default. It
enables the Gateway to translate IP addresses of your local
area network to a different IP address for the Internet. To
disable NAT, click the
Disabled
radio button.
Dynamic Routing
With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Gateway to
automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s
layout. The Gateway, using the RIP protocol, determines
the network packets’ route based on the fewest number
of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP
protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other
Gateways on the network.
RIP
To enable RIP, click
Enabled
. To disable RIP, click
Disabled
