Figure 365: Assigning a Static IP Address
To avoid IP address conflicts, be sure to choose an address outside of the DHCP range set
on your router. Also be sure to type the correct Gateway and DNS addresses (typically
your router IP address), otherwise the ISY will not have access to the internet.
You can also configure custom HTTP and HTTPS ports on this screen.
If you check the Automatic (DHCP) option, the ISY will not use a static IP address but
instead get an IP address automatically from a DHCP server on your network.

21.3.1 Configuring ISY Remote Access
In order to access and control your ISY unit from the Internet (away from home) you will
need to enable Internet access on your ISY and make sure your router configured to
forward the ISY port. This process allows the ISY to get a real IP address from your
Cable/DLS modem which is seen across the Internet. Many routers can auto-configure
directly with the UPnP protocol and others will need to have it done manually. If you need
to configure your router manually.
Please Note: If you're using a Portal enabled service to connect to your ISY remotely, in
most cases you do not need to port-forward your ISY. Some products that have NOT been
setup with the Portal service still however do need port forwarded and in that case please
follow the steps below. Also note the Portal is a safe automatic connection that bypasses
your router's standard NAT firewall.
