Appendix F: Configure Port Forwarding Manually
The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP
address needs to be setup as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function
of router needs to be setup. This device supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, user could
use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first. However, if user needs to configure
port forwarding manually, please follow the steps as below:
Manually installing the
device
with a router on your network is an easy 3
–step procedure as
following:
(1) Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device
The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the
router. Manually setup the device with a fixed IP address, for example, 192.168.10.30.
(2) Access the Router with Your Web browser
The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link
DI-624 is used as an
example
to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of
the router by following the steps outlined in the router‟s Quick Installation Guide.
If you have cable or
DSL
service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP
Address. „Dynamic‟ means that your router‟s WAN IP address can change from time to time
depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network
and allows it to access the Internet
. To find out what your router‟s WAN IP Address is, go to the
Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the
following page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to type
in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP
address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do
so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.
Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.
