Port forwarding: UPnP or manual forwarding 

Off-site access requires port forwarding. If you are configuring for on-site access only, you do not 
need to configure this section. 

 

There is a section calle

Appendix D: Understanding port forwarding

 at the back of this 

guide that explains in detail how port forwarding works, why you need to use it, and things 

to consider before you configure your router. 

Phason highly recommends reading the 

section before continuing.

  

 

 

Notes for forwarding 

with UPnP  

1.

 

Make sure 

UPnP

 is enabled on the router. Most UPnP routers have this option enabled by 

default. 

2.

 

Once, the unit is connected to the network, go to 

Administration

 

 

Diagnostics

 

 

Port 

Settings

 and then Select 

Dynamic

 and then press 

Save

. Wait for AutoFlex Connect to configure 

your router and confirm success.
