Port Mapping
Two port mapping methods are available:
(1) Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
(2) Internal and external mapping
UPnP
UPnP enables the NVR to discover other devices on the network and establish network services
such as data sharing and communication.
To use UPnP in your NVR, you must enable UPnP in the connected router. With UPnP enabled
for Network Address Translation (NAT), the ports on the NVR can be mapped automatically to
the router, and computers can access your NVR from outside the LAN.

UPnP is enabled by default. Select the desired mapping type from the drop-down list. To
map ports manually, select
Manual
and then set external ports for the router.
NOTE:
Automatic mapping (Auto) is recommended. Ports will conflict if not configured
properly.
For an NVR with multiple NICs, port mapping should be configured based on the NIC
specified as the default route.
