Port Mapping

Port mapping is mapping a port of outside web host’s IP address to a machine inside web, and

65

User Manual of LaView Premium HD Digital Video Recorder provide the service. When user connects to the port of the IP, the server will automatically map the request to the corresponding machine inside LAN.With the function of port mapping, we can map many ports of a machine’s IP address to different machines’ different ports inside web. The port mapping can also have other special agent functions, like POP, SMTP, TELNET, etc.

Theoretically, it can provide more than sixty thousand ports. For example, if we want to map a web server which has an IP address of 192.168.111.10, we just need to input the IP address and

TCP port 80 into the port mapping chart of the router. There are two ways to map the port: UPnP function automatically map and modify the router’s port mapping chart by manual.

Manual port mapping

The first step

Connect the Embedded DVR to the Router, set the static IP.

The second step

Log in Router, enter into the configuration menu of Router, and set the menu. Then get to port, set the IP distributed by the Embedded DVR, and set the rule of port mapping, add HTTP and TCP port into mapping list.

Default access ports of Embedded DVR include HTTP port 80 and TCP port 8000, if the ports are occupied by the other devices; please modify the default port of the Embedded DVR into other vacant ports.

The third step

Input the public net IP address in the IE, and add the port number of the Embedded DVR you want to access after the IP, for example: http://155.157.12.227:81. If you want to access by Client

Software, you can use the outer net TCP port directly.

Note : for detail configuration setting, please refer to the user manual of Router.
