If you are using a router, you need to obtain the Make and Model number of the unit. For more
information on configuring Port Forwarding, please refer to the user manual of your router or follow
the steps for assistance in setting up Port Forwarding on your router or modem.
■
Step 1
Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Go to the web address
www.portforward.com.
■
Step 2 From the home page, there is a list of routers/modems sorted by Make and Model. Locate
your device in the list.
► Note If your router or modem is not listed here, you will need to refer to the
User Manual for instructions on configuring Port Forward. You may also be
able to contact the manufacturer of the device or your ISP if they provided
the router/modem for you.
■
Step 3 Once you have located your router/modem, the next page will ask you to select the
program for which you are forwarding ports. EZWatch Pro will not appear in this list of programs.
► Note You need to use the Default Guide to set up Port Forwarding for
EZWatch Pro.
■
Step 4
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the following pages to set up Port
Forwarding for your specific router/modem. The default ports for EZWatch Pro Remote Access are
Port 80, Port 5140, Port 5150, and Port 5160. You will need to enter each one of these ports.
► Note www.portforward.com will not set up port forwarding for you. It
simply provides step-by-step instructions on setting up port forwarding
on your router/modem. You will need to access your router/modem
configuration using your Internet Explorer browser in order to add the
ports.
