7.7. Port Forwarding & UPnP
UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) is a kind of network protocol to help users to find and configure network
products in same local network area. Port forwarding is to assign a certain network port to a network product
Proper so as users can access it from outside of Local Area Network. Generally, port forwarding can be
configured from network router.
UPnP port forwarding is made up with finding available network port, assigning it to a FlexWATCH
product and reporting overall network configuration of a FlexWATCH product to IP-CCTV DNS server. Users
have to register products to IPCCTVDNS server and IP-CCTV DNS service should be enabled.
There are 3 options in UPNP Port Forwarding.
Manual: User Assigned Port
is
used when
users can access network router(hub) and manually
assign available network port to FlexWATCH products. In this case, users have to type already-
assigned network port under
User Assigned port
UPnP: User Assigned Port
is used when users want FlexWATCH products to configure port
forwarding menu of network hub with user-assigned network port. If it fails, try to change user-
assigned port
UPnP: Auto Selected Port
is used to let FlexWATCH products deal with all network configuration
automatically..
Please notice that network router should support UPnP Port Forwarding and there is a limit for maximum
UPnP devices. If it is properly configured, results will be appeared under
UPnP status
.
