• Router Programming

The following information assumes you have basic knowledge about networking and is for your reference only.  If you are not familiar with the following terms, you may wish to seek a network technician to help you to program your router.

a.   Port Forwarding

If you place the iGuard behind a router, you need to programme the router so that it can direct the specific incoming traffic to iGuard.

By default iGuard uses TCP Port 80 for HTTP traffic (web manager) and UDP Port 9001 for video streaming (uploading). So you need forward port 80 traffic to the internal IP address of the iGuard.

If your Internet service Provider blocks port 80/9001 or you already host a website on the same network, you?l need to reconfigure your iGuard and router to other ports such as 81/9002, 82/9003, etc.

Note: The section you need to look for in the router is Port Forwarding or Virtual Server

b.   Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

iGuard uses port 9001 by default to stream video to the internet.  Unfortunately this port is normally disabled or blocked by most commercial router's built-in firewall. In order for the iGuard applications to work properly, the firewall settings in the router need to be configured.

Some router has a very sophisticated built-in firewall.  Instead of programming each port on the router, you can use the DMZ feature to by-pass the firewall setting.

c.    DDNS

In order to access the iGuard from internet, you will have to know the external IP address of your iGuard.  If you have a consumer grade broadband service, this IP address may change over time, making it impossible for the remote PC to communicate with your iGuard, just like you ask people to call you but you change your phone number without notified the other party.  The solution is to either upgrade your internet service with a static IP or subscribe to a DDNS service which keeps track of your IP.  Please click here if you wish to sign up the DDNS service.
