Firewalling for the Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall






 

Before we can open ports for ActiveWebCam, we need to figure out what ports ActiveWebCam++ is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up ActiveWebCam and get into the camera you want to modifies settings.



At the top of the camera's properties page click the Broadcasting link.



There are two things on this page that require opening a port. If you have Remote Access enabled, you need to open the port in the remote accesses section's Port box. You can change the port that is in that box if you like. Please enter the port for Remote Access into the box below. If you are not using Remote Access just leave this box blank.

The HTTP Server is the second thing in Active WebCam that requires port opening. The Port box in the Http Server section contains the port number that must be opened for the HTTP Server. You can change that port number if you like. Please enter the port you are using for the HTTP Server into the box below. If you are not using the HTTP Server just leave this box blank.

Go ahead and open up Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall.


Find the name of your computer in the menu on the left hand side of TermiNet and click it. In the picture above you will see my computer is named RandomAction.


You should now see a new menu that has dropped down under your computer's name. Click the Traffic Rules option in that new menu.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup Infotecs TermiNet Personal Firewall's firewall for Active Webcam. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Add Rule menu.

You should see a spreadsheet full of empty cells. Right click in there to get a new drop down menu. Click the Add Rule option.
