Broadband modem, you can make the NAS available via the Internet. Features available to
Internet users include:

Making the NAS available via the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet via a Router or Gateway, you can make the NAS
available from the Internet.
No changes to the NAS configuration are required, unless you wish to use a port
number other than the default value of 80 for Web connections.
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming HTTP connections (and
optionally, IPP connections) to the NAS. This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or
Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below.
