DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is a IP-to-Hostname mapping service for those 
Internet users who don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem 
when such user wants to provide services to other users on Internet, because 
their IP address will vary every time when connected to Internet, and other 
user will not be able to know the IP address they’re using at a certain time. 
 
This router supports DDNS service of following service providers: 
 
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org
) 
TZO (http://www.tzo.com
) 
 
Please go to one of DDNS service provider’s webpage listed above, and get a

2-6 Wired LAN Configuration 
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers 
connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate 
with each other and access internet, they must have a valid IP address. 
 
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set 
the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP 
address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s 
recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will save a 
lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there 
are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and network devices 
which will provide services to other computer and users that come from 
Internet, static IP address should be used, so other computes can locate the 
server. 
 
Suggestions on IP address numbering plan: 
 
  If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your 
network, here are some suggestions.   
 
1.  A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and 
company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is 
an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1 
and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients, 
so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or 
any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0 
and 254 for field ‘c’. 
2.  In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask, 
which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s 
capability of working with up to 253 clients). 
3.  For all servers and network devices which will provide 
services to other people (like Internet service, print service, 
and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each 
of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a 
list, so everyone can locate those servers easily. 
4.  For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific 
service to others, they should use dynamic IP address. 
 
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t 
worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.
