Configuring a Router for the iNAS

If you are connecting the iNAS to another router you must configure that router to allow for remote access to the iNAS. The router MUST meet the following requirements:

1.DDNS Support

2.Port Forwarding

3.Remote Accessibility

The iNAS is located behind a router, so in order to access the iNAS remotely you must go through the router first. The router needs to use port forwarding to connect to the iNAS. You may need to consult with your router’s manufacturer to setup your router correctly.

For example, your iNAS is currently set to use 192.168.1.199 as the WAN IP address, and your router (meets the requirements above) uses a dynamic IP address provided by your ISP. You must do the following to setup the remote connection:

1.Open your router’s administration page.

2.Go to the Port Forwarding section.

3.Set your router to forward the 80 port to 192.168.1.199.

4.Create an account with a DDNS service provider such as http://dyndns.org.

5.After you have created this account you should have a domain name that masks the IP address (dynamic) of your router. When you enter this domain name in a internet browser you will be routed past your router and sent directly to the iNAS homepage.
