Using the Web Browser from the Internet
This is identical to using the Web browser from the network. But remember:
• The Internet
IP
address must be used to connect to the
NAS
Device, not the
LAN
IP address.
• If the port number used by the
NAS
Device has been changed from the
default (80), specify the correct port number when connecting. For exam-
ple, if the port is 8080, and the Internet
IP
address is 203.70.212.52, enter
the following as the browser's
IP
address:
http://203.70.212.52:8080
Remote Management
Connection via the Web browser from the Internet is the same as connecting via
the network. But remember:
• The Internet
IP
address must be used to connect to the
NAS
Device, not the
LAN
IP address.
• If the port number used by the
NAS
Device has been changed from the
default (80), specify the correct port number when connecting. For exam-
ple, if the port is 8080, and the Internet
IP
address is 203.70.212.52, enter
the following as the browser's
IP
address:
http://203.70.212.52:8080
Once connected to the
NAS
Device via the Internet, all the Web-based manage-
ment features are available.
However, the “Browse” button on the Shares screen only allows Web-based file
browsing. (If using Internet Explorer on Windows, network users can browse
shares using Windows Explorer.)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
An
FTP
client can also be used to upload and download files from the Internet.
To do this, port forward the
FTP
port (port 21) on the router or gateway to the
IP
address of the
NAS
Device.
