Verifying requirements
Broadband Internet
Make sure your home network is running properly and provides a broadband connection
to the Internet. You must be able to access the Internet from your computer.
Router
Your router directs local data traffic through your home network, and passes Internet data
through a firewall. The firewall protects your computer from malicious data on the
Internet, but allows safe data through ports. The ICY BOX Mediaserver requires ports 21
(FTP), 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to be available and unblocked.
The Setup program will automatically configure these ports using UPnP (Universal Plug
and Play). Most routers have UPnP available and enabled, allowing configuration to
occur. The Setup program will tell you whether configuration was successful.
 If UPnP is available but disabled, enable UPnP as described in the router
documentation.
 If UPnP is not available, set up port forwarding from ports 21, 22, 80 and 443 to ICY
BOX Mediaserver as described in the router documentation. Use TCP for each port.
The Support Forum has the Test Port Forwarding tool at HELP/ICY BOX SUPPORT
(upper right). If you need to test port forwarding, go to this site, and then click the Port
Forwarding Tester button.
