Making Video available from the Internet
If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and
Broadband modem, you can make the FCS-3031/3051 available via the Internet. You will need
to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the camera.
Router/Gateway Setup
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from
Internet Viewers) to the FCS-3031/3051. The Router/Gateway uses the
Port Number
to
determine which incoming connections are intended for the cameras.
This feature is normally called
Port Forwarding
or
Virtual Servers
, and is illustrated below.
The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP
connections on port 1024 should be passed to the FCS-3031/3051. If necessary, check the user
manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.

The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry
above is the "Secondary Port" number specified on the
Network screen of the FCS-3031/3051.
