PlayStation Setup Overview

There are two ways of allowing your PlayStation to communicate with the internet. One is through port forwarding

and the other is through the DMZ feature.

Port forwarding will enable specified ports on the NL1901ACV to get access to your PlayStation to communicate

with the internet as if they were directly connected by allowing access through.

Setting your PlayStation as a DMZ host opens all the ports on the NL1901ACV to allow access to a designated

device.

This guide has been revised to include the latest changes and updates from the NL1901ACV's new NC2 web user

interface.

Prerequisite

Before you configure the NL1901ACV, you will need to set a static IP address on your PlayStation.

Please follow the instructions at the link below to set a static IP address on your PlayStation:

https://portforward.com/networking/staticip-ps3-playstation-3.htm

You can use an IP address like 192.168.20.100 for example.

Important information

You can only forward a port to

one

location (IP address).

In some cases, this may cause issues when multiple LAN devices (computers, game consoles, or VOIP ATAs) attempt to use

online gaming as same time or make multiple VOIP service connections.

In these cases, you would need to use an alternate port for any subsequent connections after the first device.

Please consult your VOIP provider or game manufacturer for assistance with this.
