2.1 Search and Set up by IP Wizard II

When you install the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search your Camera by IP Wizard II or UPnP™ discovery. Here is the way to execute IP Wizard II to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
2.1.1 Search
When launch the IP Wizard II, a searching window will pop up. IP Wizard II is starting to search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.
AirLive BU-3025 Manual 6
2. Preparation
2.1.2 LAN
In case you want to change the IP related parameters of wired interface, please select the device you want to configure and click the LAN button. Relative settings will be carried out as below.
You could modify the relative settings of the selected device. Click “<<” button will quit the LAN setting procedure and click “>>” button will move to next page as below.
AirLive BU-3025 Manual 7
2. Preparation
In case, you do not want to change username and/or password, then just click “Submit” button to perform your setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous page. If you like to change username and/or password of the device, just click the check button. Then, the related fields will show up as below.
After keying in new username and password, click “Submit” button to perform your setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous page.

2.1.3 Wireless
This model does not support wireless function. Therefore, IP Wizard II disables this function automatically.

2.2 UPnP of Windows® XP, Vista or 7

UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, Vista or 7, of your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.
Please refer to Appendix J to enable UPnP settings only if your operating system of PC is running Windows XP.
Note: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.
To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.
Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera automatically.

2.3 Install the Device behind a NAT Router

Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the Internet, you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup. However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3-step procedure:
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router  (2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Ca  mera (default) (3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS 
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this option is default enabled.
T(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS T
Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information.
