AirLive FE-200CU Manual 6

1. Introduction

1.5 Install the Camera in LAN

1. Plug an Ethernet cable into the Camera

Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN socket and attach it into the network.

2. Connect the external power supply to Camera

Connect the attached power adapter to the DC power jack of the camera. Note: Use the power adapter, 12VDC, included in the package and connect it to wall outlet for AC power.

AirLive FE-200CU Manual 7

2. Preparation

2.1 Search and Set up by IPWizard II

When you install the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search your Camera by IPWizard II or UPnP™ discovery. Here is the way to execute IPWizard II to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.

2.1.1 Search

When launch the IPWizard II, a searching window will pop up. IPWizard II is starting to search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.

AirLive FE-200CU Manual 8

2. Preparation

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.

AirLive FE-200CU Manual 9

2. Preparation

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.

AirLive FE-200CU Manual 10

2. Preparation

(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Netw ork Camera

Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this option is default enabled.

(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS

Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information.

2.4 Access the Device from the Internet Explorer for the First

Time

1. Start the web browser on the computer and type the IP address of the Camera you want

to monitor as below:

The Login Window of the Camera is prompted:

2. Type in your login name and password under “USERNAME” and “PASSWORD” textbox.
