You can set up your N5200PRO for remote administration. With remote 
administration, you can access your N5200PRO over the Internet, even if your 

N5200PRO is behind a router. This is especially useful if you are traveling and 
suddenly need a file from your N5200PRO.  
 

Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the 
following equipment: 

 

• 

Thecus N5200PRO NAS device 

• 

Cable/DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support 

• 

Home PC 

• 

Internet Connection
