work?

UPnP

TM

networking technology provides automatic IP configuration and dynamic discovery

of devices added to a network. Services and capabilities offered by networked devices, such

as printing and file sharing, are available among each other without bothersome network

configuration. In the case of Network Cameras, you will see Network Camera shortcuts at My
Network Places

► Enabling UPnP port forwarding allows the Network Camera to open secondary HTTP port

on the router, not HTTP port, meaning that you have to add the secondary HTTP port number

behind the Network Camera’s public address in order to access the Network Camera from the

Internet. For example, when the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is set to

8080, refer to the list below for the Network Camera's IP address.

In a local area network

http://203�67�124�123:8080

http://192�168�4�160 or
http://192�168�4�160:8080

► If the PPPoE settings are incorrectly configured or the Internet access is not working, restore

the Network Camera to factory default; see Restore on page  for details. After the Network

Camera is reset to factory default, it is accessible in a local area network.

provide better protection against unauthorized accesses�
