Router Configuration
The following section describes the initial configuration of the router and port
forwarding for some of the most common routers from 3Com, Belkin, D-Link, Linksys,
Microsoft, NETGEAR, Proxim, Siemens, and SMC.
In order to access the Veo Observer/Wireless Observer from the Internet, you’ll need
to configure your router to use ports 80 and 1600 (default settings). Port 80 is used for
accessing the camera’s homepage and Port 1600 is used for authentication and video
streaming. If your Internet Service Provider blocks ports 80/1600, you’ll need to reconfigure your camera and
router to other ports such as 81/1601, 82/1602, etc. To change the port settings on the camera, you’ll need to
use the Observer Setup Utility [Refer to Chapter 5: Observer Setup Utility].
Follow the steps below to configure your router, depending on the router manufacturer and model. If your
particular router manufacturer or model is not listed below, please contact your router manufacturer for further
assistance in configuring the router.
