Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page" on page 26). 2. Click on Advanced, and click on Advanced Network. 3. Next to UPnP, select Enable or Disable on the pull down menu to turn the feature on or off on your router. Note: It is recommended to leave this setting enabled, otherwise, you may encounter issues with applications that utilize UPnP in order allow the required communication between your computers or devices and the Internet. 4. Click Apply, to save settings. Identify your network on the Internet Administrator > Management Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify your network using a fixed address-one that can be used to view home IP Camera and other devices on your local area network. © Copyright 2013 TRENDnet.

requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your
