PLANET NAS-7100 - Manual (Page 60)

• The default port number for Web browser connections is 80. If you prefer to use a
different port number, you can specify the port number on the NAS System screen. The
"Web" entry for /Port Forwarding / Virtual Server must then use the port number specified
on the NAS System screen.
• To connect to the NAS, Internet users need to know and use the Internet IP address of
your Router/Gateway. (If the port number is not 80, they also need to know the port
number.)
• If you have a domain name, users can connect using the domain name instead of the IP
address.
If your Router/Gateway supports Dynamic DNS, you can use a domain name even if you
get a different IP address every time you connect to your ISP. Check the documentation
of your Router/Gateway for further information.
Using your Web Browser from the Internet
This is identical to using your Web browser from the LAN. See “Using the Web File Sharing”
for details.
But remember:
• You must use the Internet IP address to connect to the NAS, NOT the LAN IP address.
• If the port number used by the NAS has been changed from the default (80), you must
specify the correct port number when you connect.
For example, if the port is 8080, and the Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52, enter the
following as your browser's Address or Location:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:8080
