INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this manual is to help distributors, installers and customers in general to configuretheir routers for use with a network device such a digital video recorder, video server etc. Our goal is toprovide enough information to configure the router and successfully connect to the cameras over theinternet. This manual shows most common router models on the market. If your router it is not listed inthe manual identify the other routers listed and see if there is a similar one. Let us know if your router isnot listed so we may add it in future revisions.THE ROUTER CONFIGURATION.The router configuration screen is the last step in the process to view and access the cameras over theInternet (WAN). The connection and configuration will depend from the network topology, configurationand environment. Most digital video recorders and Network devices commonly are connected in a LocalArea Network (LAN) and the Router is connected usually to a DSL modem or cable modem. The Routerconfiguration is vital to connect properly to the internet and view the cameras from a remote location.ROUTER with a 4 ports switch in a WAN / LAN environment.ROUTER with 4 PORTembedded switchDVR orNetworkDeviceWANLAN(Internet)Router : A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks,commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or morenetworks connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing between networks and keeps the networks connected tothe Internet. When data is sent between locations on one network or from one network to a second network the data is alwaysseen and directed to the correct location by the router. They accomplish this by using headers and forwarding tables todetermine the best path for forwarding the data packets; and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each otherand configure the best route between any two hosts. The Internet itself is a global network connecting millions of computers andsmaller networks — so you can see how crucial the role of a router is to our way of communicating and computing.4
PORT FOWARDING AND DMZ OPTIONSBefore you start working with your router is important to :1. Assign a static IP address and select the ports to your network device( * ) , ( See AppendixB for more information ).2. Have ready your router (gateway) IP address to access the router menus ( See appendix A formore information).3. Have the port list ready according with your product needs to create the forwarding rules. ( Seepage 7 with all products listed).The information provided in this manual is to guide and help the customer create forwarding rules orport forwarding for specific ports on a router.There are to ways to work with the router ports. The procedure may vary with the router manufactureroption screens. The two options are:1 . PORT FORWARDING RULES2. THE DMZ1. THE PORT FORWARDING RULES.In order to allow users to access your Network Device ( * ) on the Internet (WAN) we need to createforwarding rules . That means we need to open ports on the Router and forward ( Port forwarding ) thedata from a specific IP address . Once the Router has the ports opened the data will pass-through theRouter . Every router internally works and interacts with two IP addresses. One is the internal IP addressor gateway. The one works with your LAN and the other one is the external IP for the internetcommunications.When a Network Device sends data to a remote router on the internet , the router receive theinformation and needs to know what to do with the data. The port forwarding feature what it does is totells the router where to send the data with the computer or network device attached to the LAN.( * )Network device: Any IP addressable device or electronic equipment connected in a LAN such aDigital video recorder, video server or computer.When you create and enable the ports on the router ( The term is referred as forwarding rules) , therouter takes the data off the external IP address: port number ( this is called a socket) and sends thatdata to an internal IP address: port number. The port forwarding rules are created per port.Example using port 2000 : When the router receives the data from the external IP address, therouter works with the internal NAT ( Network address translation) and communicates the information fromthe external IP to the internal IP address. The information from a distant router comes with a specific5
forwarding rule and that rule contains information related to port 2000. That means the internal IPaddress (gateway) on your LAN will communicate only with the network device on the LAN configuredto receive the data for port 2000. If you have one network device working with port 2000, only thisdevice will be able to use port 2000. That means only a port number can be used for a program ornetwork device. For example if you have a customer using 2 video servers connected on the same LAN ,you have to give each one a different port to communicate on the same network or over the internet.2. THE DMZ feature. ( demilitarized zone )This feature allows you to open all the ports at once in your router for your Network device IPaddress. The DMZ takes the IP address of the device on your network and forwards all ports. This isreally a nice feature if you are having problems forwarding ports for some program or device. It can be alife saver if your router will not allow you to properly forward ports. The Network Device with the DMZenabled is now wide open to internet traffic. If the network device attached to the router is a Digital videorecorder or a Video server for example , the unit will not be able to catch a virus, or risk being hackedbecause these units are stand alone and designed with an embedded operating systems. On the otherhand there is a risk if you are using a computer instead. If you are using a computer on your LAN it isbetter to forward the ports only and not use the DMZ option.The router #2 is been configured to do port forwarding for the port2000 for the internal IP address 192.168.1.125 on the LAN . Therouter # 2 has the port 2000 open. When the user from router #1access the video server, the data will go directly to the local IP192.168.1.125 using port 2000ROUTER #1External IP : 24.116.50.6If the user has installed the networkviewer application to view thecamera .The application will try to IP address from routeraccess the#2. ( 24.116.50.6 )The network viewer application musthave the IP from router #2 address( 24.116.50.6) and the port 2000 toview the camera.INTERNETROUTER #2Local IP address ANThis figure shows an example of how a user accessa video server/camera from a remote locationusing the IP from Router #2 and port 2000 on aa PCFor a more detailed explanation of the port forwarding procedures visit m6
