Document Name: SAILOR 250/500 – Linksys PVC2300 IP Camera Revision: B
Introduction: This document describes the Linksys PVC2300 IP Camera for use as surveillance camera onboard
vessels with remote access to it through Thrane & Thrane SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal. One of
the key features is that the camera is PoE enabled (Power over Ethernet)
Typical Users &
Applications:
►Remote surveillance
►Yachts
►Merchant vessels
►Security
Product Description: The PVC2300 is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device so it can be powered from a PoE Switch or
directly from the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal via Ethernet cabling. This enables installations
near ceilings on rooftops or anywhere where power outlets may not be available. The PVC2300
Camera can be mounted on any Pan-Tilt (PT) base that supports the Pelco_D protocol and can be
remotely rotated and controlled through an RS-485 interface. The PVC2300 also has two input and
two output ports which can be used for connecting the camera to an alarm panel, siren, Passive
InfraRed (PIR) sensors, smoke detectors, lighting switch (on/off),
door sensors, etc.
The PVC2300 uses a high-quality progressive scan CCD Sensor
delivering good quality video. The CCD sensor also has low-light
sensitivity so video can be captured even in very low light
environments or during "near dark" times of day. Additionally, the
camera incorporates an IR Cut Filter which, when used with a
separate IR lamp, allows for video capture in total darkness.
The PVC2300 Surveillance Camera supports dual codecs (MPEG-4 and MJPEG). Both codecs can
be used simultaneously. MPEG-4 gives efficient bandwidth consumption with good quality
compression and is optimal for real-time viewing of video. MJPEG gives optimal video quality with
lossy compression making it ideal for large volume storage to a NAS device.
The PVC2300's audio capabilities include 2-way Audio, embedded Microphone, external speaker
and microphone ports, and voice compression.
With extensive feature support like IP Multicast, RTSP, RTP, and 3GPP, video can be viewed from
multiple endpoints and client applications like 3G phones, and Quicktime clients on PCs or WiFi
phones.
Support for multiple network protocols like 802.1p priority, 802.1q VLANs, and Dynamic DNS, make
the solution ideal for multiple IP Surveillance applications and independent of static IP from the
Inmarsat DP. The 2300-series cameras can also be managed securely using HTTPS.

Tested on products: SAILOR 250/500 Software version: 1.02
Instructions:
The test of the IP camera will be done with the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal in Router Mode
therefore port forwarding need to be configured. The camera must have a static local IP address on
the same subnet as the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal to be able to configure port forwarding.
Changing the port number of the PVC2300 IP Camera makes it possible to connect several
PVC2300 IP Cameras for remote monitoring using the same SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal if

needed. Each PVC2300 IP Camera just needs to be configured with different port numbers.
The next sections will describe what needs to be configured in the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal
as well as in the PVC2300 IP Camera.
Following data will be used in this test scenario:
1) Use the default Network User Group of the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal
2) Use the default Classification entry of the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal
3) Configure static local IP address 192.168.0.100 for the PVC2300 IP Camera.
4) Configure Port Number 10000 for the PVC2300 IP Camera
5) Configure Port forwarding of port number 10000 to IP address 192.168.0.100 in the SAILOR
FleetBroadband terminal
Connect the PVC2300 and a PC each with an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports of the SAILOR
FleetBroadband terminal and power them up. See picture 1 below.
Picture 1: Schematic setup
Start a web browser on your PC and enter the built-in web server of the SAILOR FleetBroadband
terminal which default address is http://192.168.0.1.
Go to the menu SETTINGS – LAN – NETWORK DEVICES to find the IP address of the PVC2300 IP
Camera in the Network Devices list. This menu requires log in as Administrator. Default administrator
log in is Username: admin and Password: 1234. See picture 2 below showing the IP address of the
PVC2300 IP Camera in the Network Devices list.

Picture 2: Network Devices List
The Network Devices list in picture 2 shows that the PVC2300 IP Camera got the IP address
192.168.0.2 from the SAILOR terminal’s DHCP server. The MAC address (00:1A:70:9F:A7:40) can
also be matched to the MAC address written on the label on the bottom of the PVC2300 IP Camera.
Now go to the built-in web server of the PVC2300 IP Camera at http://192.168.0.2 in order to
configure the PVC2300 IP Camera. The PVC2300 IP Camera will ask for a username and password
before it will allow access to its web server. The default username is admin and default password is
admin. Select the SETUP menu to go to the web page where the static IP can be configured. Change
the settings according to the settings shown in picture 3 below.
Picture 3: Configuration of Static IP address
Remember to scroll down and press the SAVE button to save the new settings. After save of the new
settings the PVC2300 will change its IP address to be 192.168.0.100. Close and open the web
browser again and browse to http://192.168.0.100 and log in with admin username and password. Go

to the menu SETUP – ADVANCED SETUP and select “Enable HTTP Alternative Port” and change
the port number of the PVC2300 IP Camera to a port number not used by any other application on
the SAILOR 250/500 LAN. In this test the port number was set to port 10000. Changing the port
number of the camera makes it possible to have several cameras behind the same SAILOR 250/500
terminal. Each camera just needs to use different port number. See picture 4 showing the
configuration of the HTTP Alternative Port number set to 10000.
Picture 4: Configuration of port number
Press SAVE to save the new settings of the port number.
After changing the IP address to 192.168.0.100 and port number to 10000 the PVC2300 IP Camera
can be accessed at IP address http://192.168.0.100:10000
More advanced configuration of the PVC2300 IP Camera is up to the user and instruction can be
found in the manual for the PVC2300 IP Camera. It is recommended to change the Administrator
password and create accounts for the users that are allowed to access the camera from remote
locations.
The PVC2300 IP Camera support DynDNS which makes it possible to get the SAILOR terminals
public IP address displayed on a website and thereby make easy access to the camera from remote.

Configuration of
SAILOR 250/500:
The SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal only needs to have port forwarding configured. Open a web
browser and browse to http://192.168.0.1 to get into the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal’s built-in
web server. Go to the menu SETTINGS – LAN – PORT FORWARD to configure the port forward
settings to forward the port number 10000 to the IP address 192.168.0.100 which is the IP address of
the PVC2300 IP Camera. See picture 5 with the port forward settings:
Picture 5: Configuration of port forward
No other configuration is needed. The PVC2300 Camera will work with SAILOR FleetBroadband
terminal default settings using the default Network User Group and default Network Classification
entry.
In order to be able to connect to the PVC2300 IP camera from a remote location you have to know
the public IP address of the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminal. It is therefore important to get a SIM
card which has been commissioned with a public IP address. Preferable is to get a public static IP
address so the IP address will stay the same at all time. The IP address of the SAILOR
Fleetbroadband terminal can be seen on the DASHBOARD of the built-in web server. Open a web
browser and go to http://192.168.0.1 to see the IP address. See picture 6 below.

Go to a PC that is connected to the Internet and browse to the IP address of the SAILOR
FleetBroadband at port 10000. E.g.: http://161.30.180.251:10000, after a few moments the browser
will show the PVC2300 IP Camera login request. After log in with default user and password (admin,
admin) the built-in web server of the PVC2300 IP Camera will show the camera feed. See example in
picture 7 below:
Picture 7: PVC2300 Camera
Tested: The PVC2300 IP Camera and the SAILOR 500 terminal were setup and configured as described in
the previous sections. It was tested that access to the PVC2300 IP Camera was possible from the
Internet using the public IP address of the SAILOR 500 terminal.
The test was only conducted with the SAILOR 500 terminal but is anticipated also to work with the
SAILOR 250 terminal as the two systems are the same just only the antenna unit is different.
