WebCCTV server runs a web server application (port 80) and a video-server application (port 1518 and ports 4096-4224) 2. Internet Explorer (IE) wants to communicate with WebCCTV Server 3. IE gets a webpage from web server application and ActiveX in webpage gets images from video server application. 1518 4096 - 4224 The WebCCTV NVR in a local network

8. WebCCTV 7 Client Configuration Same IP Subnet In 90% of cases subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 i.e. IP of WebCCTV = 192.168.100.50 then IP of Client PC must be 192.168.100.x where x is between 0 and 255 except 50 E.g. 192.168.100.240 belongs to the same group as 192.168.100.50 Reachable via gateway If IP of WebCCTV NVR is not within subnet : i.e. 192.168.200.56 a gateway must be defined in the Client PC.

9. WebCCTV 8 Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Connection test ‘ Ping ’ command is a very important test = ‘ ECHO ’ Its results tell you immediately where the problem could be, if any e.g. IP of Client 192.168.222.251 & WebCCTV NVR 192.168.222.2 3 situations : 1.The other side answers = there is correct network communication possible The WebCCTV NVR in a local network

10. WebCCTV 9 Accessing the WebCCTV NVR on a LAN Connection test 2.The other side doesn’t answers = there is no correct network communication possible. ‘Request timed out’ = on the same subnet but no answer 3.The other side is not reachable = there is no correct network communication possible. ‘Destination host unreachable’ = not on the same subnet and no gateway defined The WebCCTV NVR in a local network
