9.2.3. Router Configuration

■
This page helps you to configure your router to make the best use of your Ethernet Disk mini Home Edition.
Router Configuration
To aid you in accessing your router's configuration screens, the HipServ Router Configuration screen provides a link to it. This is particu-
larly helpful if you do not know the IP address of your router. See
Router UPnP Negotiation
To allow you to use your HipServ remotely from the Internet, and to allow you to share content with friends and family, your HipServ uses
UPnP to forward certain ports to itself. This negotiation is done automatically during the Router Configuration step in Setup. You can use
the provided link to re-negotiate the connection (for example, if your HipServ's IP address has changed).
