Remote Administration
You can set up your 1U4500 for remote administration. With remote
administration, you can access your 1U4500 over the Internet, even if your
1U4500 is behind a router. This is especially useful if you are traveling and
suddenly need a file from your 1U4500.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the
following equipment:
•
Thecus 1U4500 NAS device
•
Cable/DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support
•
Home PC
•
Internet Connection
NOTE
Router setup will differ slightly depending on router used. For this
example, we will use the Asus WL500g because it has support for
Dynamic DNS. Contact your router hardware vendor for setup help.
