Port forwarding
Port forwarding enables you to set up a server connected to the terminal while the terminal is
in Router mode. Without port forwarding it would not be possible to contact the server from
the Internet.
We recommend using a static public IP address for the terminal in order to provide easy access
to the terminal. For information on how to set up a static IP address, refer to step 6. on page 97
in the section
To edit a network user group .
For information on how to set the terminal in Router mode, see step 5. on page 97 in the
section
To edit a network user group .
