2 2. Preparation
2.1 Search and Set up by IP Wizard II
When you install the Camera on a LAN environment, you have two easy ways to search
your Camera by IP Wizard II or UPnP™ discovery. Here is the way to execute IP Wizard II
to discover Camera’s IP address and set up related parameter in a Camera.
2.1.1 Search
When launch the IP Wizard II, a searching window will pop up. IP Wizard II is starting to
search Network Cameras on the LAN. The existed devices will be listed as below.

2. Preparation
AirLive BU-3025 Manual 7
2.1.2 LAN
In case you want to change the IP related parameters of wired interface, please select the
device you want to configure and click the LAN button. Relative settings will be carried
out as below.
You could modify the relative settings of the selected device. Click “<<” button will quit
the LAN setting procedure and click “>>” button will move to next page as below.

2. Preparation
AirLive BU-3025 Manual8
In case, you do not want to change username and/or password, then just click “Submit”
button to perform your setting accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous
page.
If you like to change username and/or password of the device, just click the check button.
Then, the related fields will show up as below.
After keying in new username and password, click “Submit” button to perform your setting
accordingly. Click “<<” button will go back to previous page.

2. Preparation
AirLive BU-3025 Manual 9
2.1.3 Wireless
This model does not support wireless function. Therefore, IP Wizard II disables this
function automatically.
2.2 UPnP of Windows® XP, Vista or 7
UPnP™ is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that
provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This
device is an UPnP enabled device. If the operating system, Windows XP, Vista or 7, of
your PC is UPnP enabled, the Network Camera will be very easy to be found.
Please refer to Appendix J to enable UPnP settings only if your operating system of PC is
running Windows XP.
Note: Windows 2000 does not support UPnP feature.
To discover your device, go to your Desktop and click My Network Places.
Click the targeted Device. Then Internet Explorer will connect to this Network Camera
automatically.

2. Preparation
AirLive BU-3025 Manual10
2.3 Install the Device behind a NAT Router
Once installed, the device is accessible on your LAN. To access the device from the
Internet, you must configure your broadband router to allow incoming data traffic to the
device. If the device is installed on the LAN with a router, then it may get a dynamic IP
address from the DHCP server. However, if the device wants to be accessed from the
WAN, its IP address needs to be setup as fixed IP, also the port forwarding or Virtual
Server function of router needs to be setup.
However, if your NAT router supports UPnP feature, it can be very easy to achieve NAT
traversal automatically. To do this, enable the NAT-traversal feature, which will attempt to
automatically configure the router to allow access to the camera.
Installing the device with an UPnP router on your network is an easy 3-step procedure:
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Ca mera (default)
(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS
(1) Enable UPnP option of your NAT router
To use UPnP IGD function (NAT traversal), you need to make sure the UPnP function is
enabled in your router. Most new home routers should support this function. Some of
routers are default enable and others are not. Please check user’s manual of your NAT
router for detail.
(2) Enable UPnP NAT traversal option of the Network Camera
Refer to Setting ÎNetwork ÎUPnP page for detail NAT traversal setting.
Note that this option is default enabled.
T(3) Access your Network Camera by DIPS T
TRefer to Setting ÎSystem ÎSystem page for detail DIPS information.

2. Preparation
