Identify your network on the Internet
Administrator > Management
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on
your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet
requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your
ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify
your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and
other devices on your local area network.
Note: First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in
the Server Address drop-down list.
1. Sign up for one of the DDNS available service providers list under Server Address.
(e.g. dyndns.com, no-ip.com, etc.)
2. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page
”
on page 31).
3. Click on Administrator and click on Management.

• Host Name: Personal URL provided to you by your Dynamic DNS service provider
(e.g. www.trendnet.dyndns.biz)
• User Name: The user name needed to log in to your Dynamic DNS service
account
