Making the NAS available via the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet via a Router or Gateway, you can make the NAS available from
the Internet.
No changes to the NAS configuration are required, unless you wish to use a port number other than
the default value of 80 for Web connections.
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming HTTP connections (and optionally, IPP
connections) to the NAS. This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illus-
trated below.
