iCanView220/220W supports LAN, xDSL, and Cable modem. It also supports shared IP
environments where a single IP address is shared by two or more IP devices. Refer to [IP-
Installer User's Guide] for details of setting the IP address for iCanView220/220W.

Figure 3-1. Connecting the iCanView220/220W to LAN
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 in Section 2.5 to assign an IP address to the iCanView220/220W.
2. Install iCanView220/220W and connect to LAN.
3. Test the ability to receive video data when connecting to iCanView220/220W using iNVR.
4. In order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a unique RTSP
(Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. For example, when one or more IP video products are
connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) and then to a larger network (i.e. the internet). The
network administrator must also configure your IP sharing device for "port forwarding". This enables the IP
sharing device to forward packet data with unique port number (RTSP and HTTP) to the unique internal IP
address (local IP address). If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area network, you do
not need to change the RTSP and HTTP port numbers, unless other IP sharing devices sit in-between the client
and the IP video products. For more detailed information regarding the use of IP sharing device, refer to the
support document [Use of Private IP network using IP-sharing-device] found on the Download Section
of the iCanTek web site.
