Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Camera
Firmware Upgrade
Upgrade Firmware
New firmware versions are posted
at
www.linksysbycisco.com
and can be downloaded for
free. If the Camera is functioning satisfactorily, there is no
need to download a newer firmware version, unless that
version has a new feature that you want to use. Loading
new firmware onto the Camera does not always enhance
its performance.
Linksys recommends that you upgrade the Camera’s
firmware within your network; in other words, use a
computer within the Camera’s local network. If you
attempt to upgrade the Camera’s firmware from a remote
location—using a computer outside of the Camera’s local
network—the upgrade will fail.
To upgrade the firmware:
1.
Go to the Linksys website,
www.linksysbycisco.com
,
and download the firmware upgrade file for the
Camera. Then extract the file.
2. From the
Setup > Administration
screen, click
Upgrade
Firmware
.
3.
You will see the
Upgrade Firmware
screen. Click
Browse
to find the extracted file, and then double-click it.
4. Click

instructions. To cancel the upgrade, click

UPnP
Enable/Disable
When enabled, the Camera’s Universal
Plug and Play (UPnP) feature allows a UPnP-enabled
computer to easily detect the Camera. The Camera’s UPnP
feature is disabled by default. If your computer is UPnP-
enabled, select this option.
Alternate Access Web Port
Enable/Disable
If you want the Camera to be able to use
an alternate port for communications, select this option.
Then, enter the desired port number in the range from
1024
to
65534
in the
Port Number
field. The default port
number is
1024
.
If you already have a Web Server on your LAN, then you
should enable the Alternate Port and use this port number
instead of port 80.
RTSP/RTP
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network
control protocol that establishes and manages multimedia
sessions between a media server and a client. The media
data format in these sessions is defined by the Real-time
Transport Protocol (RTP). You can view a Camera’s live
video stream using various multimedia player applications
such as QuickTime, RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player,
or using a mobile phone that supports RTSP. To do this,
first configure the RTSP/RTP settings in this section as
needed, then open the multimedia player, then point
the player to the appropriate URL listed below (where
<
Camera IP Address
> is the IP address of the Camera you
want to view).
•
QuickTime or RealPlayer:
rtsp://<
Camera IP Address
>/img/video.sav
•
Windows Media Player:
rtsp://<
Camera IP Address
>/img/video.asf
•
Mobile phone with RTSP support:
rtsp://<
Camera IP Address
>/img/video.asf
RTSP Port
To change the RTSP Port number, enter the
desired number in the range of
1024
to
65535
. The
default is
554.
RTP Data Port
To change the RTP Data Port, enter the
desired number in the range of
1024-65514,
even values
only.
Max RTP Data Packet
To change the maximum length
of RTP data packets, enter the desired maximum length in
the range of
400
to
1400
.
Multicast RTSP/RTP
Multicast RTP/RTSP allows a large number of clients to see
the camera’s media stream while conserving bandwidth.
This is accomplished by sending the camera’s media
stream to a single multicast address for each client to
retrieve, instead of directly sending a copy of the media
stream to each client.
Enable/Disable
Select
Enable
to enable the Multicast
RTP/RTSP feature
, or Disable
to disable the feature.
Video Address
To change the Video Address, enter
the new address in the field provided. The default Video
Address,
224.2.0.1
, can be used for multicasting and does
not normally need to be reconfigured. If this address needs
to be changed, contact your network administrator.
Video Port
To change the Video Port, enter the new
port number
(even values only, from 1024 to 65534) in
the field provided. The default Video Port,
2240
, can be
used for multicasting and does not normally need to be
reconfigured. If this port number needs to be changed,
contact your network administrator.
Audio Address
To change the Audio Address, enter
the new address in the field provided. The default Audio
Address
224.2.0.1
