Planet ICA-H651 [23/92] Install the device behind a nat router

2.7 Install the Device behind a NAT Router

Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the Internet you

must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the device. If the device is

installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server.

However, if the device wants to be accessed from the WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as

fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual Server function of router needs to be setup.

However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT traversal

automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to automatically

configure the router to allow access to the camera.

Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3–step procedure:

(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router　

(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera (default)　

(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS　

(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router

To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is enabled

in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of routers are default

enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT router for detail.

(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera

Refer to Setting Î Network Î UPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting. Note that this option

is default enabled.

(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS

Refer to Setting Î System Î System page for detail DIPS information
