Steps:
1. Connect the network positioning system to the router.

3. In the router, set the PPPoE user name, password and confirm the password.
 For your privacy and to better protect your system against security risks, we strongly
recommend the use of strong passwords for all functions and network devices. The
password should be something of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters,
including upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and special characters) in order
to increase the security of your product.
 Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of
the installer and/or end-user.
4. Set port mapping. E.g. 80, 8000 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending on
different routers. Call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.
