III‐3‐3‐2. DDNS  
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a service which provides a hostname‐to‐IP service for  
dynamic IP users. The changing nature of dynamic IPs means that it can be  
difficult to access a service provided by a dynamic IP user; a DDNS service  
though can map such dynamic IP addresses to a fixed hostname, for easier  
access. The router supports several DDNS service providers, for more details  
and to register for a DDNS account please visit the DDNS providers website(s),  
examples of which are listed below.

IV. Appendix  
IV‐1. Configuring your IP address  
For first time access to the URL http://Edimax.Setup please ensure your  
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. This means your computer can  
obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. You can check if your  
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address by following IV‐1‐1. How to check  
that your computer uses a dynamic IP address.  
Static IP users can also temporarily modify your computer’s IP address to be  
in the same IP address subnet e.g. 192.168.2.x (x = 3 – 254) as the BR‐6228nS  
V2/nC V2 in order to access http://Edimax.Setup.  
The BR‐6228nS V2/nC V2’s default IP address is 192.168.2.1.  
The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different operating  
systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in  
IV‐1‐2. How to modify the IP address of your computer.  
Static IP users please make a note of your static IP before you  
change it.  
You can assign a new IP address to the device which is within the subnet of  
your network during setup or using the browser based configuration interface  
(refer to III‐3‐4. LAN). Then you can access the URL http://Edimax.Setup in  
future without modifying your IP address.  
Please remember to change your IP address back to its original  
value after the device is properly configured.

IV‐4. Glossary  
Default Gateway (Wireless bridge): Every non‐access point IP device needs to  
configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP  
packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send  
the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the  
destination.  
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives  
every computer on your home network an IP address.  
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows  
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess  
point.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server  
keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and  
IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing  
"Broadbandaccess point.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to  
the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on  
your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to  
you.  
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your  
existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.  
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are  
connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100  
million bits per second (Mbps).  
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP  
address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that  
identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example:  
192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host  
identifier.  
The IP address is a 32‐bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four  
cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each  
“aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers  
separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b”  
can either be 0 or 1.  
128

A network mask is also a 32‐bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive  
leading 1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as  
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network  
mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.  
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP  
address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP  
network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.  
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,  
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,  
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000  
It means the device’s network address is  
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,  
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient  
method for access points to route IP packets to their destination.  
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an  
IP address for the Internet access point located at the ISP's office.  
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity  
to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.  
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices  
connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office).  
Your home network is considered a LAN.  
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the  
hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a  
unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of  
two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique  
for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product’s  
serial number.  
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers  
on your home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband access  
point’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on  
your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your  
ISP.  
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network  
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and  
protocol/port numbers:

Access point: A access point is an intelligent network device that forwards  
packets between different networks based on network layer address  
information such as IP addresses.  
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information  
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured  
like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a  
particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the  
Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).  
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and  
Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data  
transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol.  
TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable.  
UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet  
Protocol), a network layer protocol.  
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in  
geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The  
Internet is a wide area network.  
Web‐based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices  
support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This  
means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer  
to Control/configure or monitor the device being managed.
