XNET Network Video Server User’s Guide
3. Connecting XNET to Network
XNET supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP environment where
single IP address is shared by at least 2 IP devices. Refer to
[IP-Installer User’s Guide] for
details of setting the IP address for XNET.
3.1. Connecting to LAN
In case of connecting the XNET to LAN, it is generally connected as in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1. Connecting the XNET to LAN
1. Follow through steps 1 to 4 in Section 2.5 to assign IP address to XNET.
2. Install XNET and connect it to desired LAN.
3. Check if you can receive video data when connecting to XNET using the viewer program.
4. When one or more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router)
to a larger network (i.e. the internet), in order to access each unit from outside the local area
network, each device must have a unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port
number. You must also configure your IP sharing device for “port forwarding”. This is to enable
the IP sharing device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to
unique internal IP address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple units from
within a local area network, you do not need to change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers,
unless other IP sharing devices sit in-between the client and the IP video products. For more
detailed information regarding the use of IP sharing device refer to the document
