Section 3 - Configuration
System Management - Port Forwarding UPnP Router Detection
The UPnP feature can only work if you have a Universal Plug and Play router. Universal Plug and Play is supported by many
broadband routers. It automates the process of mapping an incoming TCP/UDP port from the internet to the NAS. The internet
or your LAN works using two main address units: the IP Address and the port. when your computer makes a call on the LAN,
It starts by asking the IP address of the device but it cannot only ask for an IP address, it also needs a port number. Your NAS
instructs the response to be sent back to your IP address on some port that you opened to receive that data. By using ports,
your NAS can keep track of which stream of data belongs to what.
Click System Management, Port Forwarding. The NAS software automatically searches for the UPnP router. If it cannot detect
a router, the test comes back with "No UPnP router found on the network". Click Test if you want to scan your network again.
