Frequently Asked Questions
What is D-Link´s i2eye?
i2eye (TM) is a breakthrough communications video appliance that provides
IP videoconferencing and connects to any standard television. Simple to
install and use, the small unit sits on top of the television and contains a
video camera that can stream up to 30 frames per second over the Internet
to friends, family and business associates.
When connecting my DVC-1000 behind a router or firewall, what
ports do I need to open?
The VideoPhone needs ports 1720 (TCP) and ports 15328-15333 (TCP
and UDP) open to function properly.
See the section
Using the DVC-
1000 with Routers, Gateways or Broadband Modems
on page 41, or
consult your router’s documentation or your network administrator for
help on doing this.
I’ve seen videophones that connect using the phone line, and the
picture is always small and choppy. How is i2eye different?
i2eye connects over high-speed broadband, and it delivers up to 30 frames
per second. Videophones using a slow analog
plain old telephone
line can’t
deliver smooth video pictures over their small LCD display. They show what
appears to be a series of still pictures rather than full motion video
What is the D-Link Directory Service?
The D-Link Directory Service is a D-Link hosted server which allows you to
register a “phone number” with your DVC-1000 VideoPhone. When some-
one with a DVC-1000 dials this “phone number”, your DVC-1000 will ring
and you will be able to accept a call. In the same manner you can call
others by dialing their “phone number”. This allows you to contact another
DVC-1000 without knowing its IP address. Any DVC-1000 connected to a
broadband modem will have the capability of using the
Directory Service.

Can I use the DVC-1000 with a computer and monitor instead of a
TV?
Yes. The DVC-1000 can be used with a computer and monitor instead of a
TV. However, you will need a TV Tuner / Video Capture device or a video
card that accepts video input from an RCA jack.
