3. Connecting iCanView270 to IP Network
iCanView270 supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP environment where single IP
address is shared by at least 2 IP devices. Refer to [IP-Installer User’s Guide] for details of setting the IP
address for iCanView270.
3.1. Connecting to LAN
In case of connecting the iCanView270 to LAN, it is generally connected as in Fig. 3-1.
Fig. 3-1 Connecting iCanView270 to LAN
1. Follow through steps 1 to 3 in Section 2.6 to assign IP address to iCanView270.
2. Check if you can receive video data when connecting to iCanView270 using the viewer program.
4. When one or more IP video products are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) to a larger network
(i.e. the internet), in order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a
unique RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. You must also conFig. your IP sharing
device for “port forwarding”. This is to enable the IP sharing device to forward packet data with unique port
number (RTSP and HTTP) to unique internal IP address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple
units from within a local area network, you do not need to change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers, unless

other IP sharing devices sit in-between the client and the IP video products. For more detailed information
regarding the use of IP sharing device refer to the document [Use of Private IP network using IP-sharing-
device].

3.2. Connecting to xDSL/Cable Modem
1. Please connect iCanView270 to PC through Hub and then connect DC power adapter.
2. Install IP-Installer and i-NVR S/W on PC
3. Using IP Installer S/W, set up some parameters for communication through IP network
Please refer to the IP installer and i-NVR user’s guide.
4. Connect iCanView270 with ADSL/Cable Modem as Fig.3.2
5. Run i-NVR program and check if you can receive video data when connecting to iCanView270.
Fig. 3-2 Connecting iCanView270 to ADSL/Cable Modem
When fixed IP address is assigned to the xDSL or Cable modem, follow the same way as assigning IP
address for the case of LAN using IP-installer. To enable the notification of the changed IP address to the
Rev.2.0 (Nov.2007) 19

iCanView270 User’s Guide
user over e-mail when the IP address is changed in floating IP environment, you have to assign the e-
mail address when user name and password are input using IP-installer. (Management server provides
a convenient way of connecting to your network camera under dynamic IP environment. Please
refer to the Application note regarding “Management Server” in the CD.)
When connecting iCanView270 to xDSL or Cable modem, usually regular LAN cable is required. But
since some modems have crossover connections, please contact your service provider for detailed
information.
