the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide.
After you have completed the setup of the DCS-6620G outlined in the Quick Installation Guide

a router to share the Internet with one or more PCs, the IP Address assigned to the 802.11g

Network (LAN) until the router is configured to allow remote viewing of the camera over the
Internet.
Run the Installation Wizard program from the CD included with the DCS-6620G. Follow the
steps in the Quick Installation Guide to configure the DCS-6620G. The camera will be assigned
