Remote start via the Internet
You may not be able to use remote play via the Internet depending on the network device in use. If this happens, check the following information:
Notice
Depending on the type of router, the PS3™ system may be started unintentionally if remote start is enabled. If a remote play connection is not established within a certain amount of time after the PS3™ system is started, the system will turn off automatically. To prevent this from happening, remote start via the Internet may be disabled automatically.
- A router is required to use remote start via the Internet.
- If the router supports UPnP, enable the router's UPnP function.
- If the router does not support UPnP, you must set the router's port forwarding feature to allow communication with the PS3™ system from the Internet. The port number that is used for remote play and remote start is TCP: 9293 or UDP: 9293. For information about setting this option, refer to the instructions supplied with the router.
- Port forwarding is a function for forwarding signals that arrive at a specific port (entrance) to another specified port (exit). This is also referred to as "port mapping" or "address conversion."
- If the router's IP address (global IP address) is changed when the PS3™ system is in standby mode, remote start will not be successful.
