9.2.11 Configuring NAT 
Purpose: 
Two ways are provided for port mapping to realize the remote access via the cross-segment network, UPnP™ and 
manual mapping. 
  UPnP
TM
 
Universal  Plug  and  Play  (UPnP™)  can  permit  the  device  seamlessly  discover  the  presence  of  other  network 
devices on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, etc. You can 
use the UPnP™ function to enable the fast connection of the device to the WAN via a router without port mapping. 
Before you start: 
If you want to enable the UPnP™ function of the device, you must enable the UPnP™ function of the router to 
which your device is connected. When the network working mode of the device is set as multi-address, the Default 
Route of the device should be in the same network segment as that of the LAN IP address of the router. 
Steps: 
1.  Enter the Network Settings interface. 
Menu > Configuration > Network 
2.  Select the NAT tab to enter the port mapping interface.
