3. Connecting XNET to Network
XNET supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP environments where
a single IP address is shared by two or more IP devices. Refer to
[IP-Installer User’s Guide]
for details of setting the IP address for XNET.

Figure 3-1. Connecting the XNET to LAN
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 in Section 2.5 to assign an IP address to the XNET.
2. Install XNET and connect to LAN.
3. Test the ability to receive video data when connecting to XNET using XNET-NVR.
4. In order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a
unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. For example, when one or
more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) and then to a
larger network (i.e. the internet). The network administrator must also configure your IP
sharing device for “port forwarding”. This enables the IP sharing device to forward packet data
with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to the unique internal IP address (local IP address).
If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area network, you do not need to
change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers, unless other IP sharing devices sit in-between the
client and the IP video products. For more detailed information regarding the use of IP sharing
