1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
The iCanView110 is a state-of-the-art network camera (and simultaneously a 1-channel A/V server)
which transmits both video and audio data in real time with high-resolution at high frame rate. This
is possible through MPEG4 CODEC technology, which provides data transmission at high
compression rates with high data resolution via networks. The iCanView110 can be connected,
controlled and monitored from a re mote location through an IP addre ss. Unlike CCTV or DVR, the
iCanView110 is easy to install and also cuts costs and space without any additional installation.
Based on Embedded Software Solution (Embedded Web Server, Embedded Streaming Server,
Network Protocol), the iCanView110 ensures high performance and stability and provides
integration of various Internet solutions.

3. Connecting the iCanView110
iCanView110 supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also support shared IP network where
single IP is shared by many devices using IP sharing device. Refer to [IP-Installer User’s
Guide] for details of setting the IP address for the iCanView110 by using the “IP-Installer”.
3.1. Connecting to LAN
In case of connecting the iCanView110 to LAN, it is generally connected as follows{Figure 3-
1.}
Figure 3-1. Connecting the iCanView110 to LAN
1. After applying the power, connect the LAN cable and assign an IP address to iCanView110 by
using the IP-Installer.
2. To assign an IP address to the iCanView110, run the IP-Installer in the PC connected in the same
subnet as iCanView110 is connected.
3. Check if you can receive video data when connecting to iCanView110 using the viewer program.

3.2. Connecting to xDSL Modem
1. Apply power and connect the PC and iCanView110 using crossover LAN cable provided with
the system.
2. Setup network parameters by running “IP-Installer.”

3. Remove the crossover LAN cable and connect the iCanView110 to the network using
regular LAN cable. Check if you can receive video data when connecting to iCanView110 using
the viewer program.
When fixed IP address is assigned to the xDSL, follow the same way as assigning IP
address for the case of LAN using IP-installer. To enable the notification of the
changed IP address to the user over e-mail when the IP address is changed in
floating IP environment, you have to assign the e-mail address when user name and
password are input using IP-installer. (Management server provides a
convenient way of connecting to your network camera under dynamic IP
environment. Please refer to the Application note regarding “Management
Server” in the CD.)
3.3. Connecting to Cable Modem
When connecting iCanView110 to xDSL Modem, usually regular LAN cable is
required. But since some xDSL Modems has crossover connections, please
contact your xDSL provider for detailed information.
1. Apply power and connect the PC and iCanView110 using crossover cable provided with the
system.
2. Setup network parameters by running “IP-Installer”. {Refer to Figure 3-4}.
