Supported Networks and Operation CHAPTER 11 This Appendix discusses the typical network configuration that is supported and explains how the eyesite 550 operates on a LAN, over the Internet, and over a regular phone line. This section will touch on many concepts of both Ethernet and IP based networks.
Internet Connectivity The eyesite 550 supports a variety of different network topologies, depending on your requirements or installed infrastructure. Setting up the network connection can be complicated. This section helps you to make the best choices and to understand the options available to you. The choice of network topology is determined by three key criteria explained below.
Page 105
Supported Networks and Operation Public IP address. IP addresses have three possible methods of entry on the eyesite 550, although two are listed in the flow chart. A public IP address has the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is a number in the range 0 to 255.
Page 106
There are two types of location service. SCOTTY StatIX server (recommended) (example 4) SCOTTY's StatIX server provides a simple, affordable location service. It is available for a low monthly charge and offers a number of useful features over an H.323 gatekeeper.
Page 107
Supported Networks and Operation H.323 Gatekeeper (example 3) If you are using 3rd party equipment such as IP telephony systems, or videoconferencing systems, then an H.323 gatekeeper is the only choice of location service. The eyesite 550 provides an H.323 setup menu allowing location through a gatekeeper.
Page 108
The default gateway is shown. Now point your web browser at the default gateway address as shown: The status page of your gateway should display. From this page you can see your public IP address. Navigate to the advanced menu for firewall configuration. Finding your public IP address If you cannot find your public address on the status page of your router..
