c. Advanced network connections

@TV will use UPnP to configure our network connection. In some

cases you will need to use your router’s setup pages to change a

few settings.

i. Apple using 3G/4G

1. In order to access @TV on a 3G or 4G network using an

Apple product like an iPhone, you may need to modify

your Port Forwarding settings. These settings allow your

@TV app and your @TV box to connect through your

router by opening specific ports (you can think of these

as doorways linking your @TV and your @TV apps). The

following section explains how to make those changes.

ii. Manual Port Forwarding settings

1. Open your router settings page and find the “Port

Forwarding” or “Virtual Servers” section (Belkin routers

call this “Virtual Servers”; most brands use the term

“Port Forwarding”).

2. Make the following setting changes on this page:

a. First open port 56123 for both UDP and TCP traffic

b. Then, open port 49177 to TCP traffic

3. Save the settings. Once these settings are saved in your

router, you should have access to @TV on iOS devices

over a 3G or 4G connection.

iii. More complex networks (NAT/firewall issues)

1. In some cases your @TV may be behind more than one

router: apartment complexes with shared Internet services

or homes with Wi-Fi extenders or Wi-Fi bridges would

fall into this category. In these situations, you will need

to also configure the second router or firewall device

with the same Port Forwarding settings as above.
