Using UPnP
™
(Universal Plug and Play)
UPnP™ can automatically configure your router to make it accessible from the
Internet. In order to use this feature, your router needs to support UPnP™, and it
must be enabled. UPnP™ is disabled on most routers by default. Most router
manufacturers disable this feature as the default setting.
See
http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/
and your router's
manual for details of how to enable UPnP™. After UPnP™ is enabled on the router,
set [Enable] for auto port forwarding.
