Use FEN is a feature that allows you to register a
unique name for a camera that utilizes a dynamic
IP address to the FEN Server and connect to the
camera using the registered name instead of an IP
address, which can change from time to time. In
order to use this feature, you must first register a
FEN name to the FEN Server.
•
If network settings have been changed, click OK
at the bottom of the setup window to save the
changes and then setup the FEN.
•
Inquire with your network administrator for the FEN
Server’s IP address or domain name. If a DNS server
has been configured under Network setup, you can
enter the FEN Server’s domain name instead of its IP
address for the FEN Server setting.
•
FEN Server's default address is fen.idisglobal.
com. DNS server must be configured under network
setup to ensure normal operation.
•
If using an IP router (or NAT), port configuration and
other network functions will depend on the usage
method of the IP router (or NAT).
•
You will not be able to save FEN settings unless
you click on the OK button next to the FEN name
field and check the entered name's availability.
In addition, you will be prompted with an error
message if you do not enter a FEN name or enter
a name already registered to the FEN Server. If the
FEN name contains the #, \, and/or % symbol, it
might not be able to connect to the camera from
the IDIS Web program.
The FEN Server operated by IDIS is a service to its
clients and may go offline without notice for server
update purposes or due to an unexpected failure.
