D-Link DCS-900 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration

This is the IP Address of your ISP’s Domain Name Server, if you are using a fixed IP Address you will need to know this, if
not you will need to contact your ISP or your network administrator.

If you have set up the DDNS service you will need to put in your user name and password. This will allow the DDNS to track
your IP Address even if it changes constantly. DDNS is disabled by default.

Select the service provider from the pull-down list.

Provide the host name for the service provider.

Enter your user name and/or e-mail in this field.

Enter your password and/or key in this field

Most ISPs do not open port 80 (a DCS-900 default video transfer port) for their residential customers, the DCS-900 has the
ability to use a different port by enabling the second http port for its video transfer.

If the second port is enabled, it will automatically disable the default port 80. Any unused ports can be used such as port 800,
801, etc. Remember that if the DCS-900 is behind a router you would need to forward that port to the DCS-900’s IP Address.
When accessing the camera you would need to type the camera’s IP Address + the port number (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
number, or http://192.168.0.20:800 for example). Please refer to “Installing the DCS-900 Behind a Router” on page 38.

UPnP

is short for Universal Plug and Play which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking

equipment, software, and peripherals. The DCS-900 is an UPnP enabled internet camera, and this function will work with
operating systems such as Windows

®

XP. If you do not want to use the UPnP functionality, it can be disabled by selecting

Disabled. This function is enabled by default.
