However, since the camera transmits imagedata, the default ports 5000, 5001 and 5100 are also required.Therefore, it is necessary to open ports 5000, 5001 and 5100 ofthe network for remote users to access the camera.90AirLive <strong>WL</strong>-<strong>5460CAM</strong> User’s Manual


B. PING Your IP AddressThe PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determinewhether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet tothe specific address and waiting for a reply. It can also provide avery useful tool to confirm if the IP address conflicts with thecamera over the network.Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PINGcommand. However, you must disconnect the camera from thenetwork first.Start a DOS window.Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the camera.The succeeding replies as illustrated below will provide usefulexplanation to the cause of the problem with the camera IPaddress.91AirLive <strong>WL</strong>-<strong>5460CAM</strong> User’s Manual


C. Trouble ShootingQ: I cannot access the camera from a web browser.A1: The possible cause might be the IP Address for the camera isalready being used by another device. To correct the possibleproblem, you need to first disconnect the camera from thenetwork. Then run the PING utility (follow the instructions inAppendix B - PING Your IP Address).A2: Another possible reason is the IP Address is located on adifferent subnet. To fix the problem, run the PING utility (followthe instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP Address). If theutility returns “no response” or similar, the finding is probablycorrect, then you should proceed as follows:In Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT, double check the IPAddress of the camera is within the same subnet as yourworkstation.Click Start → Setting → Control Panel → Network. Then, selectTCP/IP from the Network dialog box, and click “Specify an IPaddress” from the TCP/IP Properties dialog box. If the camera issituated on a different subnet than your workstation, you will notbe able to set the IP address from this workstation. To verifymake sure the first 3 sections of the IP address of the cameracorresponds to the first 3 sections of the workstation. Thereforethe IP address of the camera must be set from a workstation onthe same subnet.A3: Other possible problems might be due to the network cable.Try replacing your network cable.

For example 80.80.80.69 isan IP address, it is the closet thing the Internet has totelephone numbers. When you “call” that number,using any connection methods, you get connected tothe computer that “owns” that IP address.Internet Service Provider, is a company that maintainsa network that is linked to the Internet by way of adedicated communication line. An ISP offers the useof its dedicated communication lines to companies orindividuals who can’t afford the high monthly cost fora direct connection.JJAVAJava is a programming language that is speciallydesigned for writing programs that can be safelydownloaded to your computer through the Internetwithout the fear of viruses.

LANLocal Area Network a computer network that spans arelatively small area sharing common resources. MostLANs are confined to a single building or group ofbuildings.NNATNetwork Address Translator generally applied by arouter, that makes many different IP addresses on aninternal network appear to the Internet as a singleaddress. For routing messages properly within yournetwork, each device requires a unique IP address. Butthe addresses may not be valid outside your network.NAT solves the problem. When devices within yournetwork request information from the Internet, therequests are forwarded to the Internet under the router'sIP address. NAT distributes the responses to the properIP addresses within your network.NetworkA network consists of a collection of two or moredevices, people, or components that communicate witheach other over physical or virtual media. The mostcommon types of network are:LAN – (local area network): Computers are in closedistance to one another. They are usually in the sameoffice space, room, or building.WAN – (wide area network): The computers are indifferent geographic locations and are connected bytelephone lines or radio waves.NWay Protocol A network protocol that can automatically negotiate thehighest possible transmission speed between two105AirLive <strong>WL</strong>-<strong>5460CAM</strong> User’s Manual


devices.PPINGPPPoEProtocolPacket Internet Groper, a utility used to determinewhether a specific IP address is accessible. It functionsby sending a packet to the specified address and waitsfor a reply. It is primarily used to troubleshoot Internetconnections.Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is aspecification for connecting the users on an Ethernet tothe Internet through a common broadband medium,such as DSL or cable modem. All the users over theEthernet share a common connection.Communication on the network is governed by sets ofrules called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelinesdevices use to communicate with each other, and thusthey have different functions. Some protocols areresponsible for formatting and presenting andpresenting data that will be transferred from file servermemory to the file server’s net work adapter Others areresponsible for filtering information between networksand forwarding data to its destination. Still otherprotocols dictate how data is transferred across themedium, and how servers respond to workstationrequests and vice versa. Common network protocolsresponsible for the presentation and formatting of datafor a network operating system are the InternetworkPacket Exchange (IPX) protocol or the InternetProtocol (IP). Protocols that dictate the format of datafor transferors the medium include token-passing andCarrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection(CSMA/CD),implemented as token-ring, ARCNET,106 AirLive <strong>WL</strong>-<strong>5460CAM</strong> User’s Manual

It wasdeveloped y the Department of Defense to connectdifferent computer types and led to the development ofthe Internet.A transceiver joins two network segments together.Transceivers can also be used to join a segment thatuses one medium to a segment that uses a differentmedium. On a 10BASE-5 network, the transceiverconnects the network adapter or other network deviceto the medium. Transceivers also can be used on10BASE-2 or 10BASE-T networks to attach deviceswith AUI ports.UUDPULPThe User Datagram Protocol is a connectionlessprotocol that resides above IP in the TCP/IP suiteThe upper-layer protocol refers to Application Layerprotocols such as FTP,SNMP, and SMTP.108AirLive <strong>WL</strong>-<strong>5460CAM</strong> User’s Manual
