 Appendix A: Router Configuration

Appendix A: Router Configuration

The following section describes the initial configuration of the router and port
forwarding for your router. If your router is not listed here, please refer to the
manufacturer’s website for assistance with configuring your router to work with
iCAMView.

Port Forwarding for iCAMView

iCAMView requires certain ports to be open on your router to allow other computers
on the Internet to “see” it on your internal network. Normally, your router will have the
less common ports disabled or blocked by the router’s built-in firewall. In order for the
iCAMView applications to work properly and not be blocked, the firewall settings need
to be configured. In each instance there will be a trigger port and incoming port(s),
where traffic on the trigger port tells the Firewall to open the incoming ports. The
iCAMView require that TCP Port 80 and UDP 9001 (default settings) be opened to the
Internet. TCP Port 80 is used for accessing the camera’s homepage and UDP Port
9001 is used for authentication and video streaming.

If your Internet service Provider blocks port 80/9001, you’ll need to reconfigure your
camera and router to other ports such as 81/9002, 82/9003, etc. To change the port
settings on the camera, you’ll need to use iCAMView 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.

 Appendix C: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway

Appendix C: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway

This section discusses Communities, Gateways, IP Addresses and Subnet masking

Communities
A community is a string of printable ASCII characters that identifies a user group with
the same access privileges. For example, a common community name is “public.”
For security purposes, the SNMP agent validates requests before responding. The
agent can be configured so that only trap managers that are members of a community
can send requests and receive responses from a particular community. This
prevents unauthorized managers from viewing or changing the configuration of a
device.

Gateways
Gateway, also referred to as a router, is any computer with two or more network
adapters connecting to different physical networks. Gateways allow for transmission
of IP packets among networks on an Internet.

IP Addresses
Every device on an Internet must be assigned a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address.
An IP address is a 32-bit value comprised of a network ID and a host ID. The
network ID identifies the logical network to which a particular device belongs. The
host ID identifies the particular device within the logical network. IP addresses
distinguish devices on an Internet from one another so that IP packets are properly
transmitted.

IP addresses appear in dotted decimal (rather than in binary) notation. Dotted

decimal notation divides the 32-bit value into four 8-bit groups, or octets, and
separates each octet with a period. For example, 199.217.132.1 is an IP address in
dotted decimal notation.

To accommodate networks of different sizes, the IP address has three divisions –

Classes A for large, B for medium and C for small. The difference among the
network classes is the number of octets reserved for the network ID and the number
of octets reserved for the host ID.

Class Value of First Octet Network ID Host ID Number of Hosts

A 1-126 First octet Last three octets 16,387,064
B 128-191 First two octets Last two octets 64,516
C 192-223 First tree octets Last octet 254

Any value between 0 and 255 is valid as a host ID octet except for those values the
InterNIC reserves for other purposes

Value Purpose
0, 255 Subnet masking
127 Loopback testing and interprocess communication on local devices
224-254 IGMP multicast and other special protocols.

iCAMView user manual -87-

 Appendix C: IP Address, Subnet and Gateway

Subnetting and Subnet Masks

Subnetting divides a network address into sub-network addresses to accommodate
more than one physical network on a logical network.

For example:
A Class B company has 100 LANs (Local Area Networks) with 100 to 200 nodes on
each LAN. To classify the nodes by its LANs on one main network, this company
segments the network address into 100 sub-network addresses. If the Class B
network address is 150.1.x.x, the address can be segmented further from 150.1.1.x
through 150.1.100.x

A subnet mask is a 32-bit value that distinguishes the network ID from the host ID for
different sub-networks on the same logical network. Like IP addresses, subnet
masks consist of four octets in dotted decimal notation. You can use subnet masks
to route and filter the transmission of IP packets among your sub-networks. The
value “255” is assigned to octets that belong to the network ID, and the value “0” is
assigned to octets that belong to the host ID.

For the example above, if you want all the devices on the sub-networks to receive
each other’s IP packets, set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. If you want the devices
on a single sub-network only to receive IP packets from other devices on its own
sub-network, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 for the devices on the
sub-network.

Subnet Mask Routing and Filtering

0.0.0.0 IP packets are transmitted to all devices.
255.0.0.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices that are IP that’s first octet
matches the sender’s IP address’s first octet.
255.255.0.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices that are IP that’s first two
octets match the sender’s IP address’s first two octets.
255.255.255.0 IP packets are only transmitted to devices that are IP that’s first three
octets match the sender’s IP address’s first three octets.

 Appendix D: Glossary

Appendix D: Glossary
The Glossary section defines the terms used in this User Manual

Term Definition
Ethernet Local Area Network technology, originally developed by Xerox
Corporation, can link up to 1,024 nodes in a bus network. Ethernet
provides raw data transfer in a rate of 10 megabits/sec. with actual
throughputs in 2 to 3 megabits/sec. using a baseband
(single-channel) communication technique. Ethernet uses carrier
sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/CD) that prevents
network failures when two devices attempt to access the network at
the same time. LAN hardware manufacturers use Ethernet protocol;
their products may not be compatible.
Gateway A computer that attaches to a number of networks and routes packets
between them. The packets can be different protocols at the higher
levels.
IP Internet Protocol – The TCP/IP standard protocol defines the IP
datagram as the unit of information passed across a network.
IP Address Internet Protocol Address – A 32-bit address assigned to hosts
participating in a TCP/IP network. The IP address consists of
network and host portions. It is assigned to an interconnection of a
host to a physical network.
MAC Medium Access Control - The network layer between the physical and
the data link layers. Specifically, the physical (hardware) address
exists in this layer.
MIB Management Information Base – The database, i.e. set of variables
maintained by a gateway running SNMP
NMS Network Management Station
OID Object Identifier – The variables defined in a MIB
Router A computer that manages traffic between different network segments
or different network topologies. It directs the destination IP address.
The network media can be different, but the higher-level protocols
must be the same.
SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol – A standard protocol used to
monitor IP hosts, networks, and gateways. SNMP defines a set of
simple operations that can be performed on the OIDs of the MIBs
managed by the monitored Agents. It employs the UDP/IP transport
layer to move its object between the Agents and the NMS
