This guide allows you to use our Port Trigger application along with the port triggering section of your router to forward ports.
Open up the Port Trigger application, and click New button to configure a new rule.
Put a name of the program you are forwarding ports for in to the Application Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why this configuration is here would be a good idea. Click the Autoset button to get an external ip address. Alternatively you can enter any ip address that is outside of your network, in to the Target Address box. Enter the trigger port to use into the Trigger Port box. Once again it doesn't really matter what port you use here. You can pick any random port to put into the Trigger Port box, or just leave at it's default setting. Select the protocol to use by clicking the UDP/TCP radio buttons. Once again it doesn't really matter what protocol you select, but you do need to remember which one you chose. Later on in this guide, we will be entering the selections you chose here into your router. The Delay box tells the Port Trigger application how often to send the packets. If you have problems, like the ports not being forwarded all the time, you should decrease the number in the delay box.
I need you to fill in the boxes below, with the values you entered into the Port Trigger application. Entering the requested values will allow this guide to show you exactly how to configure your router.
This guide will work for the following CanVision products. IP-100 (Video and audio) IP-300 (video only ip network camera) IP-301 (Video and audio) IP-200 (video and audio server box) PT-300 (Pan Tilt video and audio gpio, WiFi, POE, ip network camera) IP-560 (video and audio plus gpio plus changable lens) MPEG4 format IP-220 (video and audio , gpio, RS485 control video server box) IP-580 (video and audio , gpio plus changable lens) PT-380 (Pan Tilt video and audio , gpio, WiFi, POE, plus changable lens) MPEG4 IP-TV TVS-120 (IP television brocasting system)
The default port used by these cameras is TCP Port 80. You can change this port if you want to. To do so open up the O'RITE utility.
The HTTP Port1 box contains the port that should needs to be forwarded. Enter the port you chose in the following box. If you did not change port that your camera is using, just enter 80 into the following box.
Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape.
Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.0.1.
You should prompted for your password. Enter your password now. By default the password is admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
The next screen that appears is the Main Menu. Click Advanced at the bottom of the screen.
The next screen that appears is the Advanced Menu. Click Special AP at the bottom of the screen.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to configure port triggering. CanVision requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Applications menu.
Then click the Apply button at the bottom of the page to save your settings. Thats it! You are done!
