Frequently Asked Question (continued)

Can I use the DVC-1000 with a non-D-Link directory service?

No. The DVC-1000 is designed to automatically connect to the D-Link
Directory Service. This is a free service and is available to anyone with a
DVC-1000. The Directory Service allows for calling another DVC-1000
VideoPhone by using a phone number instead of using an IP address.

Do I need a PC to use i2eye?

i2eye is a complete standalone system that handles all the communications,
so you don’t need a PC. Just connect it to the TV and broadband connection
and go. You can also use it with any PC with video input capabilities.

Can I connect i2eye without wires?

Yes! D-Link now offers the DVC-1100 Wireless Broadband VideoPhone.
You can also add the optional DWL-810+ device to the DVC-1000, allowing
you to configure your complete system without wires (note: you need a
wireless router or access point). The DWL-810+ bridges from i2eye’s wired
Ethernet connection to a wireless router or access point that is connected
to the cable or DSL modem

.

How large will the image be?

As large as the TV screen. i2eye supports three screen formats. The first
is a picture-in-picture mode that has the incoming video covering about
half the television screen and the outbound video in a smaller window.
The second is full screen mode. This mode displays the incoming video
across the entire television screen. The third is connection status mode.
This mode displays the picture-in-picture mode and gives you an idea of
the upload and download speed.

How easy is i2eye to setup?

Very easy. When users first turn on i2eye they will be walked through a
Setup Wizard that is designed to get the VideoPhone up and working
quickly. The wizard asks for the information needed to connect to a
broadband Internet connection. Once the information is sent, i2eye will
connect to the D-Link i2eye server. The server will assign an “Internet
telephone number” to the device. It will not be necessary to work with
cumbersome IP addresses when you want to communicate using the
i2eye.
