Part 2 - Remote Setup
• Use FEN is a feature that allows you to register a
unique name for a video encoder that utilizes a
dynamic IP address to the FEN Server and connect
to the video encoder using the registered name
instead of an IP address, which can change from
time to time. Moreover, you can access the video
encoder without having to configure NAT (Network
Address Translation) device settings even when the
video encoder uses a NAT device. In order to use this
feature, you must first register a FEN name to the
FEN Server.
• If network settings have been changed, click OK
at the bottom of the setup window to save the
changes and then setup the FEN.
• Inquire with your network administrator for the FEN
Server's IP address or domain name. If a DNS server
has been configured under Network setup, you can
enter the FEN Server's domain name instead of its IP
address for the FEN Server setting.
• You will not be able to save FEN settings unless
you click on the OK button next to the FEN Name
field and check the entered name's availability.
In addition, you will be prompted with an error
message if you do not enter a FEN name or enter
a name already registered to the FEN Server. If the
FEN name contains the #, \, and/or % symbol, it
might not be able to connect to the video encoder
from the WebGuard program.
The FEN Server may go offline without notice for
server update purposes or due to an unexpected
failure.

Port
• Use/Port: Enable/disable ports and designate
corresponding port numbers. Remote Port and
WebGuard Port are enabled by default and cannot
be disabled.
• Use HTTPS: Select this option to apply https protocol-
based security on WebGuard.
• Use UPnP: If the video encoder is connected to the
network via an IP router (or NAT), select this option
to connect to the video encoder without setting
up port forwarding. The IP router (or NAT) must be
enabled with UPnP in order for this feature to function
properly. For more information enabling UPnP on
your IP router (or NAT), refer to the IP router or NAT's
operation manual.
