4) Port Forwarding setting for remote connection
Port forwarding
is the operation that allows the transfer of data from one device to another via a specific communication port.
This procedure enables an external user (mobile phone) to access a device on a local network (1456 /1456S).
The procedure for opening router ports for device 1456 /1456S is required in order to allow remote access to the system via a
web page (
port TCP 8080
) and via an App (
port TCP 64100*, port UDP 64100*
).
* The 64100 port is not available for a number of Internet providers, in this case we suggest to use the following ports
25, 80, 110, 143 or to contact the relative Internet provider.
√
With the PC still connected to art. 1456 /1456S
