5 Router Configuration
If you are using the Vi-MPEG4 module to provide remote viewing over an ADSL connection, you will require a
router. Configure the router so that requests for port 80 are directed to the IP address of the MPEG4 module and
requests for port 8080 are directed to the ip address of the Vix05 DVR. You may also need to set the firewall to
permit access. Consult your router’s User Guide for instructions on how to carry out this configuration process.

Before you can use view and control the DVR you need to have set up these items as previously described:
• Vi-MPEG4 module – set IP address only if the default is unsuitable
• PC – install the ActiveX plug-in to allow the MPEG4 video to be displayed
• ViX05 series DVR – set IP address and port numbers only if the defaults are unsuitable
• Router – If a router is being used, set the port routing and firewall
6.1 To View via a Local Network
Run Internet Explorer and enter the address: 192.168.1.50:8080 (or the IP address you have set followed by
:8080)
You should now be viewing the Vix05 monitor output via your browser:
6.2 To View Remotely via a Router
Run Internet Explorer and enter the WAN address of the router. If the router has been properly configured to
forward port 8080 to 192.168.1.50 (the DVR) and port 80 to 192.168.1.51 (the Vi-MPEG4 module), then the remote
images and control keys should be displayed.
