Configuring UpnP (Universal Plug and Play)
Purpose:
UPnP permits the DVR to discover the presence of other network devices on a remote
network and establish functional network services for data sharing and
communications by setting port forwarding automatically in the router. If you want to
use the UPnP function you need to configure the UPnP parameters in the DVR.
Before you start:
If you enable the UPnP function in the DVR, you first must enable the UPnP function
in the router to which your DVR is connected. This option is normally enabled in
most current routers.
Steps:
