The X2RxN units support P2P, so there is no
need for port forwarding on your router.
DHCP as an example. In this mode, the router
automatically assigns an IP address for the
X2RxN. After restarting the X2RxN or DHCP
server, the IP address obtained by the X2RxN
may be different. As a result, the user should
check the IP address and port number for each
X2RxN. The operation procedure is as follows:
1. Select DHCP, click Save and refresh the
X2RxN. Input Client Port for XIQCMS and
HTTP Port for Web Browser access (the two
values must not be the same).
2. Set obtained IP address of the X2RxN and the
mapping port. Refer to section 4.2.4.2.
3. Remotely visit X2RxN by IP address：
http://Public network IP (e.g. 87.95.2.15): Web
port number（such as 00080）See networking
guide for more help remote viewing your X2RxN.
http:// Intranet IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x): Web port
number（such as 00080）（ Only available in the
same LAN）

the browser in the form of http://applied domain: mapped Web port number. When using
DDNS domain name to access the X2RxN, user shall confirm that the port can be normally
connected to current IP on the public network and the settings for server address/host
name/user/password/setting should be consistent with the settings on the X2RxN local
setting.
