You need to complete the NetAV check before
you go out.
Make sure that the NET AV LED (LF-V30) or the
SETUP MODE/NETAV LED (LF-B20/LF-B10)
goes off. If it is lit, you need to perform the
NetAV check.
z
Tip
LF-V30/LF-B20/LF-B10 have the automatic NetAV
check function. However, you can also perform the
NetAV check manually from the [Base Station
Settings] page on the Base Station. The NetAV check
tests the setting of your Base Station and your router to
watch video away from home.
Open the [Base Station Settings] screen on your PSP
®
system, and then select [NetAV Check], referring to
"Base Station Settings" (
Read the instructions on the NetAV Check screen
and configure the necessary settings.
To complete the NetAV check without modifying
the advanced settings such as the port forwarding
setting for the router, the router must be UPnP
(Universal Plug & Play) compatible and the
UPnP function of the router must be enabled.
Refer to the instructions supplied with your
router and confirm the settings.
If your router is not UPnP compatible, you prefer
not to use the UPnP function of the router, or if
you tried to use the UPnP function but the setup
was unsuccessful, port forwarding needs to be set
on the router.
The settings for port forwarding may vary
depending on the router in use. For details, refer
to the instructions supplied with your router.

Tips
• Port forwarding is a function that allows network
communications with your router to be forwarded
directly to your network device (such as a PC or a
PSP
®
system). It may also be called "Port Mapping",
"Address Change" or other names. To connect to the
LocationFree® Base Station from outside your
home using port forwarding, you must adjust the
settings for the router to allow the data connection
received by the router over the Internet to get
through to the Base Station port (initial setting: 5026
(LF-V30), 5024 (LF-B20/LF-B10)).
• It is necessary to set the Base Station’s IP address to
activate the port forwarding setting on the router. For
details, refer to the instructions supplied with your
router and the Operating Instructions supplied with
the Base Station.
• Some UPnP-compatible routers are only compatible
with specific messenger services and games. For
such a router, set port forwarding.
