Page 51 of 69 Router Configuration The following section describes the initial configuration of the router and portforwarding for some of the most common routers from 3Com, Belkin, D-Link, Linksys, Microsoft, NETGEAR, Proxim, Siemens, and SMC. In order to access the Veo Observer/Wireless Observer from the Internet, you’ll need to configure your router to use ports 80 and 1600 (default settings). Port 80 is used for accessing the camera’s homepage and Port 1600 is used for authentication and video streaming. If your Internet Service Provider blocks ports 80/1600, you’ll need to reconfigure your camera and router to other ports such as 81/1601, 82/1602, etc. To change the port settings on the camera, you’ll need to use the Observer Setup Utility [Refer to Chapter 5: Observer Setup Utility]. Follow the steps below to configure your router, depending on the router manufacturer and model. If your particular router manufacturer or model is not listed below, please contact your router manufacturer for further assistance in configuring the router. 3Com (http://www.3com.com) OfficeConnect Cable/DSL Gateway - [3C857-US] OfficeConnect Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway - [3CRWE52196] 1) Log into your router. 2) On the main page, select Firewalls on the left side of the page. 3) Select the Virtual Servers tab at the top of the page. 4) Click New on the right side of the page to open the Virtual Server Settings dialog box. 5) Type in the camera's IP addressin the Server IP Address text box.
