Network Address Translator (NAT)-enabled device, you must provide the
public-facing IP address or FQDN that allows the browser client to connect to
the Recorder. You must also set up port-forwarding on the device for web
traffic and media traffic, typically ports 8090 and 8080, respectively. If you

you to find a more qualified IT professional to configure the Recorder for
remote management.
