Port Forwarding Eyeon on the Actiontec M1000

What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

Home > Routers > Actiontec > M1000 > Eyeon

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.

Do not skip this step!

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 192.168.0.1.
