Configuration

To access the NVR from behind a router UPnP™ must be enabled in AXIS NVR Manager. Check Enable UPnP™ under Network Configuration. When enabling UPnP™, the NVR needs to be in the subnet as your computer. Make sure that the router is UPnP™ capable and has UPnP™ enabled.

Caution:

For security reasons, enable UPnP™ in order to access the NVR via AXIS NVR Manager or AXIS Camera Station only when the NVR is behind a router that requires NAT traversal.

Power Configuration

To configure how the NVR powers on, go Tools > Power Configuration. The AXIS Q8108-R can be configured to power on automatically when external power is available, manually with the internal power button, or when an external button is wired to an input port.

Note:

If power configuration is done incorrectly you might not be able to start the NVR. To remedy this situation go to Resetting to the factory default settings, on page 11 and follow the instructions.
