The camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network. If you select [Yes] at the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnP TM. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050. Clicking [Cancel] takes you back to the previous page without saving changes. Normally sets Automatic Setup. Uses a static IP address. Uses ISP DHCP server function.

SettingDescription Allow Access from the Internet (Automatic Setup Only) Allow Access from the Internet setting automatically configures the routers Port Forwarding setting (some routers call it Address Translation, Static IP Masquerade, Virtual Server or Port Mapping). To enable Internet access to the camera, check [Yes]. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050. To disable Internet access to the camera, check [No]. Network Configuration from Setup Program (Static/DHCP Only) If you prohibit the Setup Program from changing the network settings, clear the check box. Por t Number (Static/DHCP Only) The port number is 80 by default. When you use multiple cameras with a router on your network, each camera must be assigned its own port number (see page 28 1.10 Connecting the Camera to a Router Not Supporting UPnP™ (IPv4 Only) in the Installation/Troubleshooting). Do not set the following port numbers. E.g., FTP: 20 and 21, Telnet: 23, SMTP: 25, DNS: 53, POP3: 110, HTTPS: 443, ICQ: 4000 and IRC: 6661— 6667. Enter only the number (1—65535). Some ISPs do not allow you to use port 80. Ask your ISP or network administrator about the accessible port number over the Internet. IP address Subnet Mask (Static Only) If your ISP or network administrator specifies the IP address and subnet mask, enter them in each data field. If you use the camera on the LAN, set the IP address in the same class as your PC (see page 141). Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as 192.168.0.253. But 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not available.
Operating Instructions [For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033] 47 Host Name (DHCP Only) If your ISP uses the DHCP function which automatically assigns the IP address to the camera, enter the ISP- assigned host name. (Host name may be used as an authentication.) Enter ASCII characters for the host name (see page 150). But [Space], [], [], [&], [] are not available. Default Gateway*1 (Static/DHCP Only) If you have the assigned Default Gateway address by your ISP or network administrator, enter it in this data field. Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as 192.168.0.253. But 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not available.
