Frequently Asked Questions

1
What is D-Link´s i2eye?
i2eye (TM) is a breakthrough communications video appliance that provides
IP videoconferencing and connects to any standard television. Simple to
install and use, the small unit sits on top of the television and contains a
video camera that can stream up to 30 frames per second over the Internet
to friends, family and business associates.

When connecting my DVC-1100 behind a router or firewall, what
ports do I need to open?
The VideoPhone needs ports 1720 (TCP) and ports 15328-15333 (TCP
and UDP) open to function properly.
DVC-1100 with Routers, Gateways or Broadband Modems on
page 50, or consult your router's documentation or your network
administrator for help on doing this. See page 49 when connecting to
a D-Link router.

I've seen videophones that connect using the phone line, and the
picture is always small and choppy. How is i2eye different?
i2eye connects over high-speed broadband, and it delivers up to 30 frames
per second. Videophones using a slow analog plain old telephone line can't
deliver smooth video pictures over their small LCD display. They show what
appears to be a series of still pictures rather than full motion video
4
What is the D-Link Directory Service?
The D-Link Directory Service is a D-Link hosted server which allows you to
register a "phone number" with your DVC-1100 VideoPhone. When
someone with a DVC-1100 dials this "phone number", your DVC-1100 will
ring and you will be able to accept a call. In the same manner you can call
others by dialing their "phone number". This allows you to contact another
DVC-1100 without knowing its IP address. Any DVC-1100 connected to a
broadband modem will have the capability of using the
Directory Service.

Can I use the DVC-1100 with a computer and monitor instead of a
TV?
Yes. The DVC-1100 can be used with a computer and monitor instead of a
TV. However, you will need a TV Tuner / Video Capture device or a video
card that accepts video input from an RCA jack.
