Set Up Port Forwarding Rules for Router
If your Synology DiskStation is within the Intranet, you can set up port forwarding rules for the router to allow your

See "Network Interface" for more information.
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > Router Configuration to set up your router and port forwarding rules. For
more detailed instructions, please see DSM Help.
Note: To configure port forwarding rules and assign static IP address, you must have the administrative permission
to the router.
