Port forwarding
Port forwarding enables you to set up a server connected to the terminal while the terminal is in
Router mode. Without port forwarding it would not be possible to contact the server from the
Internet.
The terminal is normally in Router mode if you are using the Default network user group. We
recommend using a static external IP address for the terminal in order to provide easy access to
the terminal. For information on how to set up a static IP address, refer to step 5. on page 56 in
the section
