Making Video available from the Internet

If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the FCS-1091/WCS-1090 available via the Internet.
You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the
Internet to the camera.

Router/Gateway Setup

Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP)
connections (from Internet Viewers) to the FCS-1091/WCS-1090. The
Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are
intended for the FCS-1091/WCS-1090.

This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated
below. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that
incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the FCS-1091/WCS-
1090. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.

The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry
above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the
Network
screen of the FCS-1091/WCS-1090.
