How To - Con gure Your Router Using UPnP
Not all routers support UPnP. If the port status remains
inactive after enabling UPnP you will need to do manual port
forwarding. To con gure your router manually, please refer
to the MegaHero instruction manual found on the CD which
accompanied the DVR.
Every MegaHero comes with the ‘Autoport’ feature which
will automatically set up port forwarding for you in
compatible routers, saving you time and energy
(
providing
your router supports UPnP
)
.
If port forwarding is not con gured you can’t remotely
access the DVR as the router’s ports used by the Hero will
be blocked.
Set the Mapping Type to ‘Auto’. When you select Auto,
the mapping ports can be automatically assigned by
the router.
