Video Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
1. Open the DSS Express Server configuration
2. Click the gear icon in the top right to change the IP information of the server
3. The Setting window will display the current IP information for the server
4. To find out the public IP for the network, start by opening a web browser and go to
www.canyouseeme.org
5. The IP listed as “Your IP” will be the public IP as determined by the website
6. Enter this address into the “Mapping IP” field in the DSS Server Configuration
Be sure to note the CMS IP address, we will be using that IP address to forward the ports in the next step.
7. Click OK once the information has been entered
8. You will receive a prompt to confirm a restart of the server to make the network changes. Click OK to proceed
Forward Ports in Router or Modem
Please note the screenshots in this guide may not match identically to the modem/router being used with the DSS, but will be helpful as a reference in configuring the correct Port Forwarding rules.
If more direct instructions are required, please refer to www.PortForward.com to find a step by step guide for your specific make/model of modem/router
Video Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
1. Log into the router and navigate to the Firewall / Routing section
2. Create a new port forwarding rule
3. Enter all information for the port forwarding rule:
- Name – nickname for Port Forward Rule
- Port – desired port to be opened
- Forward IP – CMS IP , found in the previous steps in the DSS Server configuration
- Protocol – Both (TCP, UDP)
Click Save once the parameters have been entered
4. The created port forwarding rule will appear in the list.
Repeat the process to create new rules, for every port that is required for DSS functions (refer to above chart)
5. A full list of forwarded ports for the DSS Express
