6.1. Network Setup
6.1.1. Port Mapping Setup
Port mapping, also called port forwarding or punch-through, enables you to create a permanent
translation entry that maps a protocol port on your gateway machine to an IP address and protocol
port on your private LAN. This process enables you to run a public Internet service on a machine
that is otherwise hidden from the Internet by your gateway.
To access your TeleEye GN8 digital video recorder outside your private LAN, you need to do port
mapping for your TeleEye GN8. For a detailed setup procedure, please refer to the user manual of
your router. After finishing the port mapping, you can access your TeleEye GN8 anytime and
anywhere by the IP address and port number through a web browser. The address should be in this
format: http://IPAddress:Port.
The default port number is 1024, which can be used for port mapping.
6.1.2. sureLINK Setup
sureLINK technology is a group of additional functions and services available in TeleEye GN8 so as
to make it connect to the Internet in any connection methods. With a sureLINK address, you don’t
have to memorize the IP address and port number of the transmitter, or to worry about the
dynamically changed IP address. If you can only use broadband dial-up account to connect to the
Internet through your computer, sureLINK provides a solution for sharing the Internet connection
between your computer and the digital video recorder.
Please refer to the appendix for procedures and configurations on setting up sureLINK.
