Protocol Option
The UDP Protocol should be chosen for most users. Generally, the client
computer will automatically try these protocols in the following order, UDP ->
TCP -> HTTP.
After the client connects to the
DCS-5300W
successfully, the working protocol
will be displayed in
Protocol Option
. The chosen protocol will be recorded in
the user’s PC and used for the next connection. If the network environment is
changed or users want to let the Web browser automatically detect the protocol,
select UDP manually and click
Save
to change the setting and return
Home
to
reconnect with the new setting.
Media Option:
Allows a user to disable audio
when viewing video.
The following options are
available from the Connection
Type screen:
Using the DCS-5300W with an Internet
browser (continued)
Options:
UDP Protocol
- Offers the highest image and video quality.
However, packet losses will diminish image quality when bandwidth
becomes restricted.
TCP Protocol
- Packet loss is less likely to occur compared to UDP
when bandwidth is restricted.
HTTP Protocol
- If the network is protected by a firewall and it opens
HTTP port (80) only, HTTP protocol must be selected. In this mode,
audio is disabled and only video can be viewed. TCP and UDP
connections will not be available to remote users if all four ports have
not been forwarded (as shown on page 32). Only the HTTP port must
be forwarded for remote users to make an HTTP connection (video
only).
