Working Under a UPnP™ Supporting Router

CP Function

The CP function allows you to control the port mapping of a UPnP™ supporting router connected to the WAN side (hereinafter known as 'Top router'). A device with this function is called a CP (Control Point). This function is enabled for cameras registered on this product.

Notes

Even if the Top router supports UPnP™, it may not work due to the Top router's specifications.

When the settings for filtering sent data from WAN to LAN through the Top router have been set, sometimes access from the Internet to the Camera Portal and cameras connected to the LAN side is denied. It is necessary to modify the filtering settings of the Top router.

When the Top router web server is using port number 80, either modify the Top router settings, or change the port number of this product's web server to a number other than 80 (e.g. 8081). (see page 77)

When changing this product's web server's port number, specify the new port number in the web browser's address bar. (e.g. "http://WAN_side_IP_address:8081")

Sometimes the CP function does not work, due to the Top router's specifications.
