D-Link DVC-1000 IP Phone User Manual


 
34
The firewall security features built into most routers and gateways prevent
users from accessing the video and audio of their DVC-1000.
A router connects to the Internet through a series of numbered ports. The
ports used by the DVC-1000 are blocked from access over the Internet by
the firewall features of the router.
You need to open the ports on your router to the Internet to allow access to
the DVC-1000.
The router or gateway that you are using may be different from the example
shown on the following pages. However, the general procedure for opening
ports will be similar. (If you do not have a D-Link router, look for Virtual
Server, Firewall Rules, Port Forwarding, Advanced or Firewall in your router’s
configuration utility.)
In the example that follows we begin by opening the Web configuration utility
and going to Advanced > Virtual Server.
Follow the steps on the next 2 pages to open the ports on your router for
successful operation of the DVC-1000.
