This section explains how to connect the network positioning system to the WAN with a static IP

or a dynamic IP.

Before you start:

Apply a static IP from an ISP (Internet Service Provider). With the static IP address, you can

connect the network positioning system via a router or connect it to the WAN directly.

 Connecting the network positioning system via a router

Steps:

1. Connect the network positioning system to the router.

2. Assign a LAN IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway. Refer to Section 2.1.2 for detailed

IP address configuration of the positioning system.

3. Save the static IP in the router.

4. Set port mapping, E.g., 80, 8000 and 554 ports. The steps for port mapping vary depending

on different routers. Call the router manufacturer for assistance with port mapping.

5. Visit the network positioning system through a web browser or the client software over the

internet.
