6-4 DMZ Setting
We recommend user to start Router’s DMZ function when the
BT-Download slows down. DMZ function could speed up BT-Download
and enable user to link NSD-100 homepage from outer network to
browse and set jobs.
Some Routers provide DMZ function. If your NSD-100 is located
behind the NAT router, you can forward LAN IP address specified by
DMZ to NSD-100. When this setting is done, all ports from WAN to
LAN will be forwarded to NSD-100.
User might set DMZ only under Router’s LAN IP. After completing the
setting of NSD-100, NetTool will automatically connect to your NAT
Router. Here is an example regarding how to set DMZ with commercial
NAT router.
27
Step 1
When NetTool accesses your NAT Router, a dialogue will ask for user
name and password to login. In general the factory default setting are
“admin” and “admin,” please refer to your user’s manual of NAT router
for detail.)
Step 2
After logging in, you will see the home page of NAT Router. Please
click “Advanced setting” and “Fictitious server” and follow the
instruction to set the NAT Router.
28
Step 3
Set the IP Address of DMZ as same as the IP Address of NSD-100 and
click “Add” to continue.
IP of NSD-100
You will see the IP Address of NSD-100 in the dialogue after setting
successfully.
You may also open your PC’s web browser and enter your static IP
Address of NAT Router. NSD100’s home page will be accessed
complete successfully.

Port Forwarding
If your Router does not have DMZ function, you can select Port
Forwarding function too, it has function of accelerating BT download
speed too (the port range that BT downloads is downloaded at random
by 10000~65535). Here is an example regarding how to set Port
Forwarding with commercial NAT router.
When NetTool accesses to your NAT Router, a dialogue will ask for
user name and password to login. In general, the factory default setting
are “admin” and “admin,” please refer to your user’s manual of NAT
Router for detail.)

8. Q & A
1. Q: How to enhance NSD-100 download speed？
A: Due to the firewall of NAT router will affect the internet access
speed, please assign private IP address of NSD-100 in DMZ
under NAT router.
2. Q: why does the USB LED still lighten after I removed USB device？
A: You just need to restart NSD-100 since USB device was removed
irregularly. Please follow chapter 5 to remove your SUB device.
3. Q: Why can’t my printer print more than two pages of document?
A: Please confirm if the printer has installed original factory driver
and HD is well connected. (The capacity for HDD must be over
10GB and formated via NSD-100 because the document was
temporarily saved in HDD.
4. Q: Why can’t I open page of Web administration with IE?
A: You can try to clear temporary Internet files to solve the problem
5. Q: Why doesn’t BT number sort forward when I delete files?
A: It is designed for user to insert new BT job here.
6. Q: Why doesn’t BT homepage refresh automatically？
A: please click “Refresh” to update homepage by manually.
62
7. Q: How do I remote NSD-100 and set BT from WAN?
A: Most ISP will provide one or more dynamic public IP for Internet
connection if your NSD-100 works in static IP framework. Open
your web browser with this static IP address to access NSD-100.
If NSD-100 works with dynamic IP, you may use an NAT router
that supports DDNS function with NSD-100 and register an
easy-to-remember address from DDNS provider to connect to
NSD-100 on the Internet, e.g. myNSD-100.dyndns.org.
NOTE:
1. If your NSD-100 is located behind the NAT router, you need to
open “DMZ” function in NAT router. (Please refer to chapter 6-4
for DMZ setting)
2. If you are using your NSD-100 without being behind an NAT
router, you can also configure to use the DDNS function on NAT
router.
8. Q: How do I use NSD-100’s FTP function？
A: If your NSD-100 works in static IP, you may enter the static IP
Address, user name and password in FTP software for
connecting NSD-100 as FTP server; If your NSD-100 works in
dynamic IP, you need to register an address from DDNS provider
to identify NSD-100 on the Internet and then enter the address
registering of DDNS provider, user name and password in FTP
software for connecting NSD-100 as FTP server.
9. Q: Why do I use NSD-100’s BT-Download and the network speed
slow down？
63
A: Please check whether max. upload rate of BitTorren setting
(refer section 7-2-8) is “0” (No limit). If so, please change the
rate.
10. Q: Why does the printer work late when I click “Print”?
A: Printer’s buffer and network’s speed will affect printing
response.
11. Q: Why can’t I add new files when I connect with a NTFS hard disk
drive？
A: USB HDD with NTFS format will be Read-only when it connects
to NSD-100
12. Q: Why do I browse folder via ftp://user:password@ipaddress
display the folder name in disorder?
A: This is language-decoding problem of web browser. It is
recommended to use professional FTP software, like CoreFTP
to set both languages to “Union Code” for NSD-100 and FTP
software.
13. Q: If the network drive disappears each time while reboot the
computer, you may try the following setting to keep the
connection of network drive after rebooting.
A: 1. Check NSD-100 setting whether correct or not.
will
64
2. Click “My Computer” → “Tool” → “Map Network Drive”
65
After setting the drive and folder, please check the option “Reconnect
at logon.”
14. Q: Why does BT download rate slow down or download error?
A: Some users stopped sharing file lead to torrent decrease or
error. The error may slow down BT download rate or download
