APPENDIX B: CONFIGURING A NETGEAR DG384
ROUTER FOR USE wITH VXH264D
SeTTInG-UP PoRT FoRwARDInG
This section assumes that you have already established a successful connection locally. log-on to the DG834 and select ‘Services’ from the menu.
click ‘Add custom Service’ and enter the following values:
name: VXH264D (or any other name of your choice)
Type: TcP
Start Port: 8080
Finish port: 8080
And click ‘Apply’
Then, create a firewall rule as follows:
Select ‘Firewall Rules’ from the menu. Under the inbound services, click ‘Add’ and enter the following:
Service: VXH264D (TcP:8080) – This is the service you created earlier.
Action: leave at ‘Allow always’.
Send to lAn server: 192.168.0.3 - This is the IP address of the VXH264D.
wan Users and log settings can be left unchanged.
And click ‘apply’ to add the new rule.
Repeat this process for the RTSP Port. (554)
once the firewall rules are set-up, anybody should be able to access the VXH264D from the outside world, as long as they are using the correct
software and correct log in details.
To configure the software, the IP address is the public static IP address of your router and the port number in this case will be 8080. The username
and password must match those set-up on the VXH264D.

The setup steps in this case are identical but you will need to create a separate service and firewall rule for each VXH264D connected. note also that
each VXH264D must have a unique port setting as well as a unique IP address.
example – 2 VXH264Ds connected to a router
1st VXH264D settings
IP address: 192.168.0.3
Port: 8080
RTSP: 554
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
on the DG834, configure a service on port 8080 and a firewall rule to direct this service to 192.168.0.3
2nd VXH264D settings:
IP address: 192.168.0.4
Port: 8081
RTSP: 6401
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
on the DG834, configure a service on port 8081 and a firewall rule to direct this service to 192.168.0.4
The remote client software can then be configured with one connection group containing two VXH264D connections to match the above and then both
VXH264Ds can be accessed remotely at the same time.
note: If connecting locally over a lAn, the unique 192.168.0.XXX IP address for each VXH264D has to be entered. If connecting over broadband, the
same public IP address is entered for both VXH264Ds – port forwarding on the router takes care of the rest.
