Network Setup / Remote Access OverviewRouter Port ForwardingYou will need to enable port forwarding on your Router to allow for external communications withyour Observation System for ports: TCP/IP PORT 6100 WEB PORT 80Computers, Observation Systems, and other devices inside your network can only communicatedirectly with each other within the internal network. Computers and systems outside your networkcannot directly communicate with these devices. When a system on the internal network needsto send or receive information from a system outside the network (i.e. from the Internet), theinformation is sent to the Router.NETWORK EXAMPLERouterExternal IP216.13.154.34RouterInternal IP192.168.0.1ComputerInternal IP192.168.0.2ObservationSystemInternal IP192.168.0.3InternetInternal NetworkWhen a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this datato the external IP address of the Router. The Router then needs to decide where this data is tobe sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal network to send the data to. Whenyou set up port forwarding on your Router, it takes the data from the external IP address:portnumber and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e Router External IP216.13.154.34:6100 to Observation System Internal IP 192.168.0.3:6100).The instructions found online in the Router Configuration Guide will assist you in the portforwarding configurations for a selection of different router models.Visit our Consumer Guides Support website at http://www.lorexcctv.com for more details34
