4) Port Forwarding setting for remote connection
Port forwarding
is the operation that allows the transfer of data from one device to another via a specific communication port.
This procedure enables an external user (mobile phone) to access a device on a local network (1456 /1456S).
The procedure for opening router ports for device 1456 /1456S is required in order to allow remote access to the system via a
web page (
port TCP 8080
) and via an App (
port TCP 64100*, port UDP 64100*
).
* The 64100 port is not available for a number of Internet providers, in this case we suggest to use the following ports
25, 80, 110, 143 or to contact the relative Internet provider.

With the PC still connected to art. 1456 /1456S
