If you use the DCS-G900 to connect directly to the

Internet you will need to put in the user name and

password that was given to you when you initially set up

your account with the Internet Service Provider.

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.

Most ISPs do not open port 80 (a DCS-G900 default video transfer port)

for their residential customers, the DCS-G900 has the ability to use a

different port by enabling the second http port for its video transfer.

Port

Number:

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-G900

is behind a router you would need to forward that port

to the DCS-G900’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-G900 Behind a Router” on page 39.

UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play which is a networking

architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment,

software, and peripherals. The DCS-G900 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.
