Figure 8: Controlling User Access

See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and User Database screens.

Making Video available from the Internet

If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the FCS-1091/WCS-1090 available via the Internet. You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera.

Router/Gateway Setup

Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from Internet Viewers) to the FCS-1091/WCS-1090. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the FCS-1091/WCS-1090.

This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the FCS-1091/WCS-

1090. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.

Figure 9: Connecting via the Internet

The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the Network screen of the FCS-1091/WCS-1090.

FCS-1091/WCS-1090 Setup

The FCS-1091/WCS-1090 configuration does NOT have be changed, unless:

• You wish to change the port number from the default value (1024).

• You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the FCS-1091/WCS-1090.

HTTP Port Configuration

Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the FCS-1091/WCS-1090 uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the FCS-1091/WCS-1090. This port is called the Secondary Port.

The default Secondary Port is 1024. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the FCS-1091/WCS-1090's Network screen, as shown below.

Figure 10: Network Screen

See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen.

Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the correct port number.
