3.5 Network Configuration

Use this menu to configure the network to connect the device and the clients.

3.5.1 Network

This section provides the menu of connecting the device through Ethernet cable.

MAC address: Display the Ethernet MAC address of the device. Note that user cannot

change it.

Obtain an IP address

automatically

(DHCP):

IP Address: This address is a unique numbers that identifies a computer or device

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the

network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP

address is assigned automatically. If this device cannot get an IP

address within limited tries, the device will assign a default IP address

for 192.168.0.20.

If you do not select “Obtain an IP address automatically”, then you

need to enter these network parameters by yourself.

on the WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups

separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200

Subnet Mask: Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on

the network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of

packets. IP subnets advance network security and performance to

some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet masks

contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal"

data. For example, a very common subnet mask in its binary

demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will usually be

shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.

Gateway: A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information

between networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log

in to an Internet site or when you're transient email between different

servers.

Obtain DNS from

DHCP:

Enable this checked box when a DHCP server is installed on the

network and provide DNS service.

Primary DNS: When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such

as xxxxx.com, the domain name system translates the names into IP

addresses. The term refers to two things: the conventions for naming

hosts and the way the names are control across the Internet.

Secondary DNS: The same function as DNS1. It is option not necessary

HTTP Port: The device supports two HTTP ports. The first one is default port 80

and this port is fixed. This port is very useful for Intranet usage. The

second HTTP port is changeable. Users could assign the second port

number of http protocol, and the WAN users should follow the port

number to login. If the http port is not assigned as 80, users have to

add the port number in back of IP address. For example:

http://192.168.0.20:8080.

Therefore, the user can access the device by either

http://xx.xx.xx.xx/, or

http://xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxx/ to access the device.

If multiple devices are installed on the LAN and also required to be

accessed from the WAN, then the HTTP Port can be assigned as the

virtual server port mapping to support multiple devices.

NOTE : When the configuration is finish, please click “OK” to save and enable

the setting.

3.5.2 DDNS server

NS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server

The device supports DDNS If your device is connected to xDSL directly, you might need this feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this feature. Because DDNS allows the device to use an easier way to remember naming format rather than IP address. The name of the domain is like the name of a person, and the IP address is like his phone number. On the Internet we have IP numbers for each host (computer, server, router so on), and we replace these IP numbers to easy remember names, which are organized into t domain name. As to xDSL environment, most of the users will use dynamic IP addresses. If users want to set up a web or a FTP server, then the Dynamic Domain Name Server is necessary more DDNS configuration, please consult your dealer.

The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses. Domain names are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service is unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on the Internet and best of all they’re free to use. One such service you can use is www.DynDNS.org. You’ll need to register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it.

Appendix A: Alarm I/O Connector

Some features of the Video Server can be activated by the external sensor that senses physical changes in the area Camera is monitoring. These changes can include intrusion detection or certain physical change in the monitored area. For examples, the external sensor can be a door switch or an infrared motion detector. These devices are customer provided, and are available from dealers who carry surveillance and security products. Electrically, they must be able to provide a momentary contact closure.

This Camera provides wires for general I/O terminal and RS485 interface as below:

Cable for I/O connectors:

Name Cable Color Function

5VDC Brown/White DC 5V (50mA maximum) GND Blue/White GND D+ Purple/White RS485 data + D- Gray RS485 data DI Green/White Digital signal input DO Orange/White Digital signal output

User can refer to the schematic below to make a proper connection between I/O connector and external sensor and output device.

Explanation of External I/O Circuit Diagram:

CAUTION!!

9 The low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits are in the

network camera circuit. The qualified electrician should do the wring not by

yourself incorrect wiring could damage network camera. You could receive

the fatal electric shock.

9 The external I/O is not capable of connecting directly to devices that require

large amounts of current. In some cases, a custom interface circuit (customer

provided) may have to be used. Serious damage to network camera may

result if a device is connected to the external I/O that exceeds its electrical

capability.

Appendix B: PING IP Address

The PING (stands for Packet Internet Groper) command is used to detect whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to the specific address and waiting for a reply. It’s also a very useful tool to confirm Video Server installed or if the IP address conflicts with any other devices over the network.

If you want to make sure the IP address of Internet camera, utilize the PING command as follows:

Start a DOS window.

Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the Internet camera.

The replies, as illustrated below, will provide an explanation to the problem.

If you want to detect any other devices conflicts with the IP address of Video Server, also can utilize the PING command but you must disconnect the Video Server from the network first.

Appendix C: 3GPP Access

To use the 3GPP function, in addition to previous section, you might need more information or configuration to make this function work.

Note:

RTSP Port:

Port 554 is the default for RTSP service. However, sometimes, some service providers change this port number for some reasons. If so, user needs to change this port accordingly.

Dialing procedure:

1. Choose a verified player (PacketVideo or Realplayer currently)

2. Use the following URL to access:

Where host is the host name or IP address of the Video Server.

Compatible 3G mobile phone:

Please contact your dealer to get the approved list of compatible 3G phone.

That to use the 3GPP function, it strongly recommends to install the Networked Device

with a public and fixed IP address without any firewall protection.

rtsp://host/mpeg4/media.3gp

Note:

Besides Internet Video Server and 3G mobile phone. You will also need to make sure the ISP and company has provided the 3GPP service to you.

Appendix D: Bandwidth and Video Size Estimation

The frame rate of video transmitted from the Internet Video Server depends on connection bandwidth between client and server, video resolution, codec type, and quality setting of server. Here is a guideline to help you roughly estimate the bandwidth requirements for your Internet camera.

The required bandwidth depends on content of video source. The slow motion video will produce smaller bit rate generally and fast motion will produce higher bit rate vice versa. Actual results generated by the Video Server may be varying.

NOTE: Audio streaming also takes bandwidth around 5 kbps to 64kbps. Most xDSL/Cable

modem upload speeds may not even reach up to 128 kbps. Thus, you may not be able

to receive any video while streaming audio on a 128 kbps or lower connection. Even

though the upload speed is more than 128kbps, for optimal video performance,

disabling audio streaming will get better video performance.

Appendix E: DDNS Application

1. Preface

If you have a Cable modem or xDSL, this is a great way to host your own Networked Device or other TCP/IP Service. Get your own domain like www.yourname.com, www.yourname.com.tw etc. (Note: This domain must be registered with Internic via registration authorities such as Network Solutions, DirectNIC, and Register.com etc). Your domain name's dynamic IP address is automatically tracked by a DDNS server.

Host your own Networked Device and much more no matter what your computer's IP address may be and even if you have dialup, DSL or cable modem internet connection where your computer's IP address changes all the time!! DDNS service supports all top level domain names including but not limited to .com, .net, .org, .to, .uk etc.

2. Ethernet Network Environment

Normally, DDNS service is only necessary for the users that could only obtain dynamic IP addresses. As to the users that could obtain the static valid IP address, they do not usually have to apply the DDNS service. Before we decide if DDNS is necessary for the users, we have to check what kind of Ethernet network environment we have to install our Networked Device on.

(1) Environment of Fixed Valid IP Network

If users could obtain valid IP addresses, they could save the effort to apply DDNS service. Because the IP address in this environment is fixed, users could input the IP address or domain name of demo site directly in the IE browser.

(2) Environment of Dynamic IP Network

If users is under an environment of dynamic IP network (Dial-up xDSL), they have to apply a domain name in advance. Then apply DDNS service. Finally setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE of the Networked Device in order to let the outside administrator be able to access through internet.

3. Application Steps – DDNS & Domain Name

(1). Visit the following web site: http://www.dyndns.org/ (2). Click “Account”

(3). After the columns show up at the left side, click “Create Account”.

(4). Fill the application agreement and necessary information.

a. Username

b. E-mail address and confirmation

c. Password and confirmation

d. Submit all the input information and finish creating an account

Click these two options

(5). Check your e-mail mailbox. There will be an e-mail with a title “Your DynDNS Account

Information“. Click the hyperlink address to confirm the DDNS service that you just applied. Then DDNS you applied activated.

Click to confirm

(6). Enter the web page http://www.dyndns.org/

you just applied to login administration interface of DDNS server.

(7). If the correct username and password are input, you can see the following picture at the

top-right of the login page.

(8). Click the “Services”.

Input your account

again. Input your username and password that

(9). Click the “ Dynamic DNS ”.

(10). Click the “Create Hosts”.

(11). We could create a domain name without any charge at this step. First, we input the host name. (No.1) Then we pick a domain that is easy to remember. Finally (No.2), click the “Add Host” to submit the domain name information. (No.3)

4. Setup the DDNS and PPPoE of Network Device

At last, users have to enter the web page of Networked Device and setup the necessary information of DDNS and PPPoE after the application of DDNS service. Please check the user manual to access the DDNS and PPPoE pages. After saving the modification, restart the device. The external users could browse the Networked Device by the input of their domain name.

Appendix F: Configure Port Forwarding Manually

The device can be used with a router. If the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP address, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup. This device supports UPnP traversal function. Therefore, user could use this feature to configure port forwarding of NAT router first. However, if user needs to configure port forwarding manually, please follow the steps as below:

Manually installing the device with a router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure as

following:

1. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device

2. Access the Router with Your Web browser

3. Open/Configure Virtual Server Ports of Your Router

1. Assign a local/fixed IP address to your device

The device must be assigned a local and fixed IP Address that allows it to be recognized by the

router. Manually setup the device with a fixed IP address, for example, 192.168.0.100.

2. Access the Router with Your Web browser

The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The PLANET

WNRT-620 is used as an example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings

of the router by following the steps outlined in the router’s Quick Installation Guide.

If you have cable or DSL service, you will most likely have a dynamically assigned WAN IP

Address. ‘Dynamic’ means that your router’s WAN IP address can change from time to time

depending on your ISP. A dynamic WAN IP Address identifies your router on the public network

and allows it to access the Internet. To find out what your router’s WAN IP Address is, go to the

Status screen on your router and locate the WAN information for your router. As shown on the

following page the WAN IP Address will be listed. This will be the address that you will need to

type in your web browser to view your camera over the Internet. Be sure to uncheck the Reset IP

address at next boot button at the top of the screen after modifying the IP address. Failure to do

so will reset the IP address when you restart your computer.

Your WAN IP Address will be listed here.

3. Open/set Virtual Server Ports to enable remote image viewing

The firewall security features built into the router and most routers prevent users from accessing

the video from the device over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of

numbered ports. The ports normally used by the device are blocked from access over the Internet.

Therefore, these ports need to be made accessible over the Internet. This is accomplished using

the Virtual Server function on the router. The Virtual Server ports used by the camera must be

opened through the router for remote access to your camera.

Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings

Click Enabled.

Enter a unique name for each entry.

Select Both under Protocol Type (TCP and UDP)

Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.100, for example) in the Private

IP field.

If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and

Private Port section, click Add.

A check mark appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.

NOTE: Some ISPs block access to port 80. Be sure to check with your ISP so that you can

open the appropriate ports accordingly. If your ISP does not pass traffic on port 80, you

will need to change the port the camera uses from 80 to something else, such as 8080.

Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual for specific instructions on

how to open ports.

Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box

on this line to enable settings. Then the device can be access from WAN by the router’s WAN IP

Address.

By now, you have finished your entire PC configuration for this device.

user’s manual of router and turn on UpnP function.

Cannot access the login page and other web pages of the Video Server from Internet Explorer

Access this device

Maybe the IP Address of the Network Camera is already being used by another device or computer. To confirm this possible problem, disconnect the Network Camera from the network first, and then run the PING utility to check it out.

Maybe due to the network cable. Try correcting your network cable and configuration. Test the network interface by connecting a local computer to the Video Server via a crossover cable.

Make sure the Internet connection and setting is ok.

Make sure enter the IP address of Internet Explorer is correct. If the Video Server has a dynamic address, it may have changed since you last checked it.

Network congestion may prevent the web page appearing quickly. Wait for a while.

The IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC and Video Server must be in the same class of the private IP address on the LAN.

Make sure the http port used by the Video Server, default=80, is forward to the Video Server’s private IP address.

The port number assigned in your Video Server might not be available via Internet. Check your ISP for available port.

The proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to the Video Server, set up not to use the proxy server.

Confirm that Default Gateway address is correct.

The router needs Port Forwarding feature. Refer to your router’s manual for details.

Packet Filtering of the router may prohibit access from an external network. Refer to your router’s manual for details.

Access the Video Server from the Internet with the global IP address of the router and port number of Video Server.

Some routers reject the global IP address to access the Video Server on the same LAN. Access with the private IP address and correct port number of Video Server.

When you use DDNS, you need to set Default Gateway and DNS server address.

If it’s not working after above procedure, reset Video Server to default setting and installed it again.

Image or video does not appear in the main page.

How to check the device’s ActiveX is installed on your computer

Internet Explorer displays the following message: “Your current security settings prohibit downloading ActiveX controls”.

To check the source analog camera is powered and make sure it could output the pictures to Video Server properly.

To check the video cable is connect with source analog camera and video-in jack of Video Server properly.

The first time the PC connects to Video Server, a pop-up Security Warning window will appear to download ActiveX Controls. When using Windows XP, or Vista, log on with an appropriate account that is authorized to install applications.

Network congestion may prevent the Image screen from appearing quickly. You may choose lower resolution to reduce the required bandwidth.

Go to C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files and check to see if

there is an entry for the file “IPCamera Control”. The status column should show “Installed”. If the file is not listed, make sure your Security Settings in Internet Explorer are configured properly and then try reloading the device’s home page. Most likely, the ActiveX control did not download and install correctly. Check your Internet Explorer security settings and then close and restart Internet Explorer. Try to browse and log in again.

Setup the IE security settings or configure the individual settings to allow downloading and scripting of ActiveX controls.

The device work locally but not externally.

Might be caused from the firewall protection. Check the Internet firewall with your system or network administrator. The firewall may need to have some settings changed in order for the device to be accessible outside your LAN.

Make sure that the device isn’t conflicting with any other web

server running on your LAN.

Check the configuration of the router settings allow the device to be accessed outside your local LAN.

Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet bandwidth is lower than target bit rate, the video streaming will not work correctly.

The unreadable characters are displayed.

Frame rate is slower than the setting.

Blank screen or very slow video when audio is enabled.

Image Transfer on e-mail or FTP does not work.

Use the operating system of the selected language. Set the Encoding or the Character Set of the selected language on the Internet Explorer.

The traffic of the network and the object of the image affect the frame rate. The network congestion causes frame rate slower than the setting.

Check the bandwidth of Internet connection. If the Internet bandwidth is lower than target bit rate, the video streaming will not work correctly.

Ethernet switching hub can smooth the frame rate.

Your connection to the device does not have enough bandwidth to support a higher frame rate for the streamed image size. Try reducing the video streaming size to 160x120 or 320x240 and/or disabling audio.

Audio will consume 32 kbps. Disable audio to improve video. Your Internet connection may not have enough bandwidth to support streaming audio from the device.

Default Gateway and DNS server address should be set up correctly.

If FTP does not work properly, ask your ISP or network administrator about the transferring mode of FTP server.
