Frequently Asked Questions
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. All you need is a broadband connection. You can also use it with a
TV or a 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-2000, 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 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.
What devices can I connect to with the DVC-2000?
Connect any i2eye DVC-1000, DVC-1100, or DVC-2000 product. You can also connect to
any hardware or software that is H.323 compatible. If you are not sure if your hardware
or software is H.323 compatible, please contact the manufacturer/developer. If you are
using a PC with a Windows operating system, you can use Microsoft NetMeeting with
any webcam to connect to the DVC-2000. NetMeeting is a common H.323-compatible
videoconferencing software application.
What standards drive i2eye?
i2eye is based on the H.323 industry standard video streaming over IP protocol. This
ensures that any H.323 compliant device will communicate together seamlessly. i2eye
is a broadband appliance that draws from D-Link’s extensive experience as a leading
Ethernet manufacturer.
Do I have to take every call?
i2eye’s configuration menu provides settings for three types of privacy:
Audio Privacy
,
Video Privacy,
and
Do Not Disturb
, so you are in control.
When the Audio Privacy is activated, incoming callers will be able to see video from your
end, but not hear you. When the Video Privacy is activated, incoming callers will be able
to hear audio from your end, but not see you. And when Do Not Disturb is activated,
incoming callers will receive a message indicating that you are not available. If you do
not answer a call within 10 rings (one minute) the call will terminate and the caller will
receive an “Incomplete Call” message.
