In advance, in the “NAT” or “Port mapping” setting on the router, set the address in “Setting an IP address on the PC” (page 15)
as the LAN address and register the following 6 ports:
46100, 46110, 46112, 46114, 46120 and 46122 (UDP ports)
For the detailed procedure, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your device.
