Port Forwarding (UPnP)
UPnP Port Forwarding
If the AQ7280 is connected to a network through a router with a NAT function, the AQ7280 cannot
be controlled from a PC over the router. The AQ7280 has a function for transferring data with
routers with a NAT function that support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). When this function is
enabled, the AQ7280 can be controlled from a PC over a router. This function is called UPnP port
forwarding.
ON: The UPnP port forwarding function is enabled.
OFF: The UPnP port forwarding function is disabled.
Status
Displays the communication status between the AQ7280 and a UPnP compatible NAT router.
---:
The UPnP port forwarding is disabled.
Normal:
Configuration required for port forwarding is complete between the AQ7280 and
router.
Setting:
Port forwarding is being configured.
Set up failure: Port forwarding cannot be configured.
Router searching failure:
A UPnP compatible NAT router could not be found.
URL
Displays the URL of the UPnP compatible NAT router. Enter this URL in the PC browser when
controlling the AQ7280 from the PC.
--: The UPnP port forwarding is disabled. Or, the status is not showing Normal.
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/:
The IP address of the router’s WAN port is shown in x. 8080 is a fixed port number.
WAN IP Address
Displays the IP address of the UPnP compatible NAT router.
--: The UPnP port forwarding is disabled. Or, the status is not showing Normal.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:
The IP address of the router’s WAN port is shown in x.
Refresh Screen
Refreshes the status, URL, WAN IP address information.
The AQ7280 communicates with a UPnP compatible NAT router at 1 minute intervals to update the
port forwarding settings. Clicking Refresh Screen displays the current port forwarding settings.
Note
• If port number 8080 of the UPnP compatible NAT router is used by another service, the UPnP port
forwarding function cannot be used.
• The UPnP port forwarding function cannot be used on some UPnP compatible NAT routers if the transport
destination and source numbers are not the same. The port number that the AQ7280 uses for UPnP port
forwarding destination is 80.
• Depending on the UPnP compatible NAT router, the UPnP port forwarding function may be disabled. In
such a case, enable the function.
