3. Connecting iCanView230/230W to Network
iCanView230/230W supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP
environment where single IP address is shared by at least 2 IP devices. Refer to [IP-Installer
User’s Guide] for details of setting the IP address for iCanView230/230W.
3.1. Connecting to LAN
In case of connecting the iCanView230/230W to LAN, it is generally connected as in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1. Connecting the iCanView230/230W to LAN
1. Follow through steps 1 to 4 in Section 2.5 to assign IP address to iCanView230/230W.
2. Install iCanView230/230W and connect it to desired LAN.
3. Check if you can receive video data when connecting to iCanView230/230W using the viewer
program.
4. When one or more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) to a
larger network (i.e. the internet), in order to access each unit from outside the local area network,
each device must have a unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. You
must also configure your IP sharing device for “port forwarding”. This is to enable the IP sharing
Rev.1.0 (Aug. 2006)
15 of 54
iCanView230/230W User’s Guide
device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to unique internal IP
address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area
network, you do not need to change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers, unless other IP sharing
devices sit in-between the client and the IP video products. For more detailed information
regarding the use of IP sharing device refer to the document [Use of Private IP network using
IP-sharing-device].
②
3.2. Connecting to xDSL/Cable Modem
1. Follow through steps 1 to 4 in Section 2.5 to assign IP address and other network parameters to
iCanView230/230W.
2. Install iCanView230/230W and connect it to xDSL or Cable modem as in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2. Connecting the iCanView230/230W to ADSL Modem
When fixed IP address is assigned to the xDSL or Cable modem, 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
Rev.1.0 (Aug. 2006)
16 of 54
iCanView230/230W User’s Guide
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.)
When connecting iCanView230/230W to xDSL or Cable modem, usually regular LAN
cable is required. But since some modems has crossover connections, please contact
your service provider for detailed information.
