Configure settings for opening the port
to external networks.
These settings are required to access
the NSR from an external network.
If the router supports the UPnP
function, you can use the UPnP
function to configure the router
settings.
• This setting allows all of the setting
items will be configured
automatically via UPnP. If you want
to specify port numbers manually,
refer to the User’s Guide (PDF).
• Router configuration is not
necessary if the UPnP function is
used.
If you are not using a broadband router
with UPnP support, or if you are not
using the UPnP function, click [Server
Configuration] in the [Administration
Menu], click [NAT Setting], and then
configure the settings in the [NAT
Setting] dialog box that appears. For
details, refer to the User’s Guide
(PDF).
These settings are not required if you
do not intend to access the system from
an external network. Select [Skip
configuration] and click [Next], and
proceed to step 7 in such cases.

• To ensure Internet (WAN side)
security, be sure to use the
firewall function on your router
or similar device, and confirm
that the security for the
configured port is enabled.
1)
• If security is not enabled via the
router or similar device, there is a
risk of the NSR being accessed
by unauthorized users via the
WAN side ports. To maintain
security, change the password
regularly and configure other
related settings.
2)
For details on
changing the password, refer to
the User’s Guide (PDF).
• If unauthorized users log onto the
NSR, there is a risk of the
following.
3)
- The NSR settings may be
changed.
- Images from cameras and
recorded images may be
viewed and operated.
• Depending on your router and
operating environment,
connection from an external
network may be disabled.
