Remote Access

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)

Using DDNS and connecting the LG Network Storage externally by domain name is possible. (Example: http://myname.lgnas.com or ftp://myname.lgnas.com). To record and connect the server IP address to the in the case of using a fixed IP is possible, though the DDNS allows for a convenient connection in a dynamic IP environment, where IP changes in time. Variation of IP address is monitored and mapped to a domain name in real time. Therefore, there is no need to remember IP address as there will be a fixed address. (e.g. myname.lgnas.com)

¨ç DDNS: Select ¡®Enable¡¯

¨ç Domain name: Input domain name to be used.

¨è DDNS password: Input password.

¢À Password is required in the case that domain name needs to be re-registered for reasons of system initialization, replacement of LG Network Storage among others. It is important to remember the password.

¨ê Click on the ¡®Apply¡¯ button.

¢À If ¡®Disable¡¯ is selected after a domain name is registered, the previously registered domain will be removed, thus the domain name cannot be registered in other LG Network Storages. Caution must be taken at set-up.

[UPnP]

The UPnP port forwarding is used for LG Network Storage to directly receive requests from the router connected to the LG Network Storage. Access to the LG Network Storage from the outside using a DDNS usually requires a special set-up for the router to forward network requests received by the router to the LG Network Storage, and the UPnP port forwarding function allows the router to forward data without a separate router set-up. (This option is only available if the router is such that supports the UPnP port forwarding function.

¨ç Check whether the address of the router currently connected to the Network Storage is properly displayed.

¨è If the router address is properly displayed, it should display whether the router¡¯s port forwarding function has been activated.

¨é Select the ¡®Apply¡¯ button.

¢À If the router does not support the UPnP port forwarding function or the function is deactivated, the UPnP port forwarding may not perform properly.
