1.2 OPENING PORTS
To make your DVR accessible from outside of your local network, you have to “forward” ports
85 and 6036 through your router to your DVR’s IP address. We present two options which
cover the majority of users - UPnP and Port Forwarding. You will only need to use one or the
other. If you are unable to connect your DVR to the Internet using either of these procedures,
the likely cause is the presence of multiple routers on your network. The solution is covered in
Section 1.7 Resolving Connection Issues.
OPTION 1: UPNP
The QT series of DVRs come configured to take advantage of the latest networking
technology, UPnP or Universal Plug ‘n Play right out of the box. If you have an UPnP-enabled
router, you will only need to plug the DVR into your network and you will then be able to
proceed to the end of this section.
Consult your router’s manual to determine
whether it has UPnP or not. Please note that,
as of this writing, 2Wire brand routers do not
have the UPnP feature. If you do not have a
UPnP-enabled Router, you will have to utilize
another method to forward your ports.
If you wish to ensure that UPnP is turned
on in your DVR, go to the Network window
as described above, and click on the Other
Settings tab. The UPnP box should have a
check mark in it. If it does not, click on the
box to add the check, then click on Apply
before hitting Exit. When you reopen the
window, the box should be checked.

IMPORTANT! If you connect your system to your network using UPnP
you should NOT forward your ports as described in DMZ, as it will create
connectivity problems. You may skip to Confirming that Ports are
Opened.
