Appendix: Accessing IP Camera over the Internet through gateway router

Once installed, your XL-ICA100U is accessible within your local network (LAN). To be able to access your XL-ICA100U from the Internet, you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic. For security reasons this is usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the user documentation of your broadband router for instructions on how to do this.
If your home or office LAN is connected to the Internet through a high speed (broadband) Internet connection, with at least 33.6 kbps upload bandwidth, you can access your cameras via the web browser from anywhere through the Internet. To do this you will need to:
1. Know your WAN (Internet) IP address. This is the IP address that your ISP (Internet Service
Provider) provides you to access the Internet. It may be static (always the same) or dynamic (can change from time to time).
2. Make sure the port used by the camera (80 or any port > 1024) are forwarded by your router
or gateway to the camera.
3. Make sure your XL-ICA100U IP Camera default gateway is set to the LAN (local) IP address
of your router/gateway.
4. Make sure your XL-ICA100U IP Camera DNS is set to the DNS IP address provided by your
ISP.

WAN IP Address

The WAN IP address that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides you is very different from the LAN or local IP address. The WAN or Internet IP address is visible to the outside world (Internet) whereas the local addresses is not. To find your home or office network from the Internet you must know your WAN IP address. Your WAN IP address is stored by your gateway router, router uses the WAN IP to connect to the Internet. All the devices on your network connect to the Internet via the gateway router. You can find your current WAN IP address by checking your router status page. There are also various websites such as will tell you the WAN IP address that you are currently using to access the Internet.
Note: Gateway: The term gateway is used generically to define a device that connects a local network to
the Internet. A gateway may be a router, a PC running software which allows it to act as a gateway such as a proxy server, or some other devices. Most home networks use a NAT (Network Address Translation) router as a gateway. The term gateway router refers to such a device.
http://www.whatismyip.nl/ or http://www.whatismyip.us/ , which
21
XtendLan XL-ICA100U User’s Guide
Static versus Dynamic IP address
The IP address (or addresses) that your ISP provided you will either be static, which means it never changes, or dynamic, meaning it will change periodically. Dynamic addresses present an additional challenge when trying to locate your network from the Internet since your address may have changed since the last time you checked it. How often your dynamic address changes vary from one service provider to another. Also, any time you reboot your cable or DSL modem, you are likely to get a new address when reconnecting. The solution to the ever-changing IP address is known as DDNS or dynamic domain name service. A DDNS will allow you to find your network by a domain name, such as DynDNS, ZONEDIT, no-ip.com, rather than needing to know the IP address.
Network Address Translation (NA T)
Most home routers and business firewalls today perform something called NAT or Network Address Translation. NAT translates your external or WAN IP address into an internal address inside your gateway router. What it means is, you can think of your router as being divided into two halves, the LAN side (inside) and the WAN side (outside or Internet side). When a connection request arrives at your router from the Internet, it will not get any farther than the WAN side unless you have specifically instructed your router to pass this type of request to a specific device on your LAN. This process is known as port forwarding or port redirecting.
Port Forwarding
All the TCP/IP (Internet) networking uses software ports. Ports can be thought of as channels on your television. By default, all webpage traffic is on channel (port) 80. By default, the XL-ICA100U IP Camera uses port 80 to deliver its web page to your browser. Therefore, channel (port) 80 must be open (is not blocked by your outer/firewall) to incoming traffic in order to connect XL-ICA100U IP Camera from the Internet.
Note: port 80
If there is server in your LAN already used port 80, you must open another port for your XL-ICA100U IP Camera. XL-ICA100U IP Camera will answer commands from any port > 1024, what it means is, a port > 1024 (ex.: 8080) must be open to incoming traffic in order to connect XL-ICA100U IP Camera from the Internet. If you have installed multiple XL-ICA100U IP Cameras in your LAN, multiple ports (unique port for each camera, all greater than 1024, not used by other devices) must be open to incoming traffic in order to connect those XL-ICA100U IP Cameras from the Internet. Also, port must be forwarded or redirected to the camera’s LAN IP address by your gateway router. Your router ’s setup software should provide a utility for port forwarding or redirecting. Router configuration contains setup help for some popular home networking gateway routers currently on the market.
Note:
Forwarding ports to your XL-ICA100U IP Cameras does not pose any additional security risk to your LAN. Before setting up port forwarding, it is best to configure your XL-ICA100U IP Cameras to use a static LAN IP since your port forwarding setup will need to be updated if the
22
XtendLan XL-ICA100U User’s Guide
camera’s LAN IP address changed.
Default Gateway
Devices (PCs, IP cameras/Servers, etc.) on your network connect to the Internet via gateway. For most home networks, a NAT type router serves as the gateway. For office LANs, the gateway may be a PC running gateway software. To access any devices on your network from Internet, it must know the LAN IP address of your gateway. If your XL-ICA100U IP Camera is set up to use DHCP, then it will retrieve this information automatically from your router. However, if you have configured your camera to use a static IP address, you must be sure that you have set the correct gateway IP address in order to connect your XL-ICA100U IP Camera to the Internet. If your XL-ICA100U IP Camera is now live on the Internet, browsing your XL-ICA100U IP Camera from the Internet is the same as browsing on your LAN except that you must enter your WAN IP address instead of the LAN IP address.
