Port Forwarding Eyeon on the A-Link WL54AP2

What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

Eyeon uses two ports per camera. If you have a second camera, you will have to set the ports of that camera so that they are different from the ports for the first camera. The same thing would have to be done for the thrid camera, and so on. Every port you setup will have to be forwarded to it's respective camera. I'll give example ports here for the first three cameras.

Camera 1 - Port 80, 9001
Camera 2 - Port 81, 9002
Camera 3 - Port 82, 9003

This guide will show you how to forward ports for the first camera.

1. Check the LCD
The LCD will show the network parameters: IP Address, Subnet mask and Gateway in rotation. Please  write them down you will need it later. It will look something like this: IP Addr: 192.168.0.168 (where 0 and 168 are network dependent numbers) Mask:255.255.255.0 Gateway:192.168.0.1
2. Eyeon Utility and Setup Wizard
a.Click Eyeon Utility icon on the desktop >> Setup Wizard and go thru the step-by-step installation.
b. Leave the User Name and Pass Word blank here.
c. Select Use the following IP address
d. In put the LCD IP Address, Subnet mask and Gateway number.

Please enter the ip address that the camera is using into the box below.

Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.

In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.254.

We do not currently know the default username and password for your router. If you know them, please use our Comments page to let us know what they are. Thanks!

You can find common passwords that might work for your router in our Default Router Passwords page.

Click the Firewall link near the left of the page.

You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Port Forwarding.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Eyeon requires you to forward the 80,9001 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Forwarding menu and then click Apply Changes.

You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Port Forwarding page. Go ahead and enter those settings and then click Apply Changes.

And that is it! You are done!

To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
