The following steps generally apply to any router that you have on your network. The D-Link DI-624 is used as an
example to clarify the configuration process. Configure the initial settings of the DI-624 by following the steps outlined
in the DI-624 Quick Installation Guide.

Access the Router with 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 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 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.
Router Set-Up and Installation
Your WAN IP Address will be listed on the router’s
Status > Device Info page.

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.

Open Virtual Server Ports to Enable Remote Image Viewing
The firewall security features built into the DI-624 router prevent users from accessing the video from the DCS-3420
over the Internet. The router connects to the Internet over a series of numbered ports. The ports normally used by the
DCS-3420 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-624 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.
1 Click Enabled.
2 Enter a different name for each entry.
3
Enter your camera’s local IP Address (e.g., 192.168.0.120 in the example in step 2 on page 129) in the
Private IP field.
4
Select TCP for HTTP port and both (TCP and UDP) for Audio and Video channel port.
5
If you are using the default camera port settings, enter 80 into the Public and Private Port section, click Apply.
6
Scheduling should be set to Always so that the camera images can be accessed at any time.
Follow these steps to configure your router’s Virtual Server settings:

Repeat the above steps adding the port 5002 and 5003 to both the Public and Private Port sections. A check mark
appearing before the entry name will indicate that the ports are enabled.
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.
Enter valid ports in the Virtual Server section of your router. Please make sure to check the box next to the camera
name on the Virtual Server List to enable your settings.
