INTRODUCTION.
The purpose of this manual is to help distributors, installers and customers in general to configure
their routers for use with a network device such a digital video recorder, video server etc. Our goal is to
provide enough information to configure the router and successfully connect to the cameras over the
internet. This manual shows most common router models on the market. If your router it is not listed in
the manual identify the other routers listed and see if there is a similar one. Let us know if your router is
not listed so we may add it in future revisions.
THE ROUTER CONFIGURATION.
The router configuration screen is the last step in the process to view and access the cameras over the
Internet (WAN). The connection and configuration will depend from the network topology, configuration
and environment. Most digital video recorders and Network devices commonly are connected in a Local
Area Network (LAN) and the Router is connected usually to a DSL modem or cable modem. The Router
configuration is vital to connect properly to the internet and view the cameras from a remote location.

Router : A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks,
commonly two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP network. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more
networks connect, and are the critical device that keeps data flowing between networks and keeps the networks connected to
the Internet. When data is sent between locations on one network or from one network to a second network the data is always
seen and directed to the correct location by the router. They accomplish this by using headers and forwarding tables to
determine the best path for forwarding the data packets; and they use protocols such as ICMP to communicate with each other
and configure the best route between any two hosts. The Internet itself is a global network connecting millions of computers and
smaller networks — so you can see how crucial the role of a router is to our way of communicating and computing.
