Using DDNS and connecting the LG NAS externally by domain name is possible. To record and connect the server IP address to the in the case of using a fixed IP is possible, though the DDNS allows for a convenient connection in a dynamic IP environment, where IP changes in time. Variation of IP address is monitored and mapped to a domain name in real time. Therefore, there is no need to remember IP address as there will be a fixed address. (e.g. myname.lgnas.com)

• ① Select ‘Enable’ for DDNS.
• ② Input domain name to be used.
• ③ Input password.
• This is necessarily needed when re-registering the domain name for system initialization or LG NAS replacement or other reasons. Do not forget password .
• ④ Click on the ‘Apply’ button.
• If ‘Disable’ is selected after a domain name is registered, the previous domain will be removed, thus the domain name cannot be registered in other LG NAS devices. Caution must be taken when setting this.

• * UPnP
• The UPnP is used for controlling ports easily and efficiently. To access the LG NAS in a router from the outside, a forwarding port or DMZ setting is required but it is possible to connect from outside only by activating the UPnP.
• To operate the UPnP, the router should have an UPnP function, and the UPnP function of both the router and the LG NAS should be activated.
• If there is no UPnP function in the router or it is not compatible with the UPnP in the LG NAS, find the router setting menu and set it to manual.
