The TCP port, which has a default of 37777, must be forwardedfrom the Router/firewalls external interface to the DVR’s static internal address. Ideally, this port can be left as thedefault value, but on a network where this external port is already in use. It may be necessary to change them. In the I-View Now Portal, the TCP Port should be set as the Video port. If the ports must be changed Navigate back to the Network Setup Enter the new TCP Port number Click OK to save settingsRouter SettingsRouter settings must be examined on a case by case basis. I-View Now requires one port to be forwarded to the Device.This can be done Either through port forwarding or NAT (Network Address Translation) depending on what theinstallation site’s router supports. With either of these router features, any unused/unfiltered External Port can beforwarded to the TCP Port(also referred to as the video port). For example External Port 9000 could be forwarded to theDVR on port 37777 internally. In this case, the default TCP port on the DVR itself could be left alone.The other approach would be to forward external ports to the DVR using the same External Port and Internal Port. Inthis case, the ports must be set on the DVR through Network Settings. Common ports used for forwarding the HTTP portare 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027 or 8080. Common ports used for forwarding the Video/TCP port are 8010, 8011, 9000, and9010.For any of these situations it is the External IP Address and External Port numbers that must be entered into the I-ViewNow “Installer’s Portal.”Note: Any ports used must be unblocked in any firewall devices (typically just the router).The TCP Port Setting Can be found inthe Network Settings interface
