Remote Administration
You can set up your N5200PRO for remote administration. With remote
administration, you can access your N5200PRO over the Internet, even if your
N5200PRO is behind a router. This is especially useful if you are traveling and
suddenly need a file from your N5200PRO.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the
following equipment:
• Thecus N5200PRO NAS device
• Cable/DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support
• Home PC
• Internet Connection
