Using & Configuring the DCS-2100+ with a
NAT Router (continued)
Ports that are used by the DCS-2100+
Router Set-Up and Installation
The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network.
The D-Link DI-614+ is used as an example to clarify the configuration process.
Configure the initial settings of the DI-614+ by following the steps outlined in the
DI-614+
Quick Installation Guide
.
These are the port
settings for your camera.
They can be changed if
needed.

Access Your Router on Your Web Browser
If you have cable or DSL Internet service, you will most likely have a dynamically
assigned WAN IP Address. ´Dynamic° means that your router°s 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
menu on
your router and locate the WAN information for your router (as shown on the
next 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.

Determine Your Router°s IP Address (WAN)
Note:
Because a dynamic WAN IP can change from time to time depending on
your ISP, you may want to obtain a Static IP address from your ISP.
A Static IP
address is a fixed IP address that will not change over time and will be more
convenient for you to use to access your camera from a remote location.
The
Static IP Address will also allow you to access your camera attached to your
router over the Internet

Using & Configuring the DCS-2100+ with a
NAT Router (continued)
The firewall security features built into the DI-614+ router prevent users from
accessing the video from the
DCS-2100+
over the Internet.
The router connects
to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-2100+
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 DI-614+ router.
The Virtual Server ports used
by the camera must be opened through the router for remote access to your
camera.
Virtual Server is accessed by clicking on the
Advanced
tab of the
router screen.

Important:
Some ISPs block access to port 80 and other commonly used
Internet ports to conserve bandwidth.
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 800. Not all routers are the same, so refer to your user manual
for specific instructions on how to open ports.
Using & Configuring the DCS-2100+ with a
NAT Router (continued)
Enter valid ports in the
Virtual
Servers
section of your
router
192.168.0.146
Follow these steps to configure your router°s Virtual Server settings:
Repeat the above steps adding ports
5001
,
5002
and
5003
to both the
Public
and
Private Port
sections.
A check mark appearing before the
camera name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
•
Click
Enabled
.
•
Select
Both
under
Protocol Type
(
TCP
and

•
Enter your camera°s local IP Address (e.g.,
192.168.0.146
in
the example in step
#
above) in the
Private IP
field.
•
If you are using the default camera port settings, enter
80
in to
the
Public
and
Private
Port
section, click
Apply.
•
Scheduling
should be set to

Viewing Your Camera
After all the router settings have been entered correctly, a PC user inside or
outside your network will have access to the camera through the Internet
Explorer Web browser. To access the camera from the Internet, type the IP
Address of the router given to you by your ISP, followed by a colon, and the port
number that you gave your camera (e.g.,
). It is not
necessary to enter the colon and port number if you are using the default Web
server port 80. To access from a computer on your local (home) network,
simply enter the local IP Address of the Camera. (e.g.,
192.168.0.146
)
.
