UPnP settings
The recorder supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). This feature lets the recorder
automatically configure its own port forwarding, if this feature is also enabled in the
router.
You can select one of two methods to set up UPnP:
Automatic mapped type: The recorder automatically uses the free ports available that
were set up in the Network Settings menu.
Manual mapped type: You enter the particular external port settings and IP addresses
required to connect to the desired router (see Figure 24 below).
