► How does UPnP

TM

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�

From the Internet

In LAN

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; please refer to Restore on page 52 for details� After the Network

Camera is reset to factory default, it is accessible in LAN�

HTTP

Authentication: Depending on your network security requirements, the Network Camera provides two

types of security settings for a HTTP transaction: basic and digest. If basic authentication is selected,

the password is sent in plain text format; there can be potential risks of being intercepted� If digest

authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted in MD5 algorithm and thus provide better

protection against unauthorized accesses�

HTTP port / Secondary HTTP port: By default, the HTTP port is set to 80 and the secondary HTTP port is

set to 8080� Also, they can be assigned with another port number between 1025 and 65535� If the ports

are incorrectly assigned, the following warning messages are displayed:
