・

A global IP address is required. (See Note 3.)

Note 1: Support for selecting, installing, and operating VoIP software is not available from

Kenwood Corporation.

Note 2: Make sure to refer to the user manual for the broadband router to be used before

performing the settings.

Note 3: KNS operations are possible even if the global IP address is variable, but the IP

address may change with uncertain timing. In such cases, it is necessary to check
and change the IP address of the connected host when connected from a remote
station, which reduces user-friendliness. Consequently, using an environment in
which the host station global IP address is fixed is recommended. Furthermore, if the
global IP address cannot be fixed, using a dynamic DNS service enables operations
in the same way as an environment with a fixed global IP address.
