This feature is normally calledPort Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is explained below.• The default port number for Web browser connections is 80. If using a dif-ferent port number, specify the port number in the “System” screen (seepage 23). The “Web” entry for /Port Forwarding / Virtual Server must thenuse the port number specified in the System screen.• To connect to the NAS Device, Internet users need to know and use theInternet IP address of the router/gateway. (If the port number is not 80, theyalso need to know the port number.)• If using a domain name, users can connect using the domain name insteadof the IP address. If the router/gateway supports dynamic DNS, use a domainname even if a different IP address is used every time a user connects to theISP. Check the documentation of the router/gateway for further information.4 |
