4.8. Dashboard: Network
This page allows you to modify your Network Space MAX’s network
settings. Note that there are two tabs to the page, standard and
advanced.
4.8.1. Standard Settings
Configure using DHCP or manually: If your network is DHCP-en-
abled, as are most consumer networks, the Network Space MAX
will automatically be assigned an IP address and other values. As
a result, most users will see that the table has been filled in with
values. If you select Configure Manually, you will be able to modify
the table values.
Automatic port forward: If you want your Network Space MAX to be
accessible via the internet for remote access, you need certain ports
to be open in your router to allow proper communication. Check
this box to enable port forwarding, which uses UPnP-IGD/NAT-PMP
to automate port forwarding (if your router is compatible).
The following ports need to be forwarded to ensure proper commu-
nication: 21 (FTP) and 80 (HTTP).
IMPORTANT INFO: If you activate automatic port forward, public
shares will become accessible (read/write) through FTP.
Dynamic IP Resolution: You can use a third party Dynamic DNS ser-
vice to create an easy-to-remember URL for accessing your Network
Space MAX remotely (Fig. 60). This service is free and no subscrip-
tion is required.
