Certain devices on your network might require that you forward a port on your router to enable them to function properly. Examples of devices that might need this include older networked products, VoIP devices and IP Cameras.

To forward a port on the Almond+ you have to log in to the web admin UI of your Almond+. This is done by opening the IP address of your router in a web browser. You can find the IP address of your Almond+ by tapping on Status in the LCD UI and then Web Admin. This will not only display the IP address of your Almond+, but also the login credentials.


Once you've successfully logged in to the web UI of your Almond+ you need to click on the Advanced tab.

Next, click on Forwarding.
