(Remote Play).Using remote play 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.
- Use [Internet Connection Test] in
(Network Settings) under (Settings) to check that the PSP™ system can connect to the Internet and PSNSM. - If the router in use supports UPnP, enable the router's UPnP function.
- If the router in use does not support UPnP, you must set the router's port forwarding to allow communication to the PS3™ system from the Internet. The port number that is used by remote play is TCP: 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 PS3™ system is connected to the Internet via two or more routers, communication may not work correctly.
Hints
- A router is a device that allows multiple devices to share a single Internet line.
- Communication may be restricted depending on the security functions provided by the router and Internet service provider. Refer to the instructions supplied with the network device in use and information from your Internet service provider.
