4) Dynamic IP registration service for ISDN and xDSL users
This page is to register NetCam-2 on dynamic IP registration server.
If NetCam-2 is installed on a network of dynamic IP address (floating IP address), administrator should
register the NetCam-2 on dynamic IP registration server to give common users simple connectivity. If not, no
one can access the NetCam-2 through Web browser. It is because that no one knows IP address which one can
access the NetCam-2 with.
To solve the problem, Philips run a server making a list of NetCam-2s that have dynamic IP addresses. On the
server, NetCam-2 registers its information such as name, location, and description, so that common users may
detect a certain NetCam-2. Name, location and description are assigned at ‘System Configuration’ page. If
administrator does not change them, the NetCam-2 will register default information on the list, and it will be
very difficult to point out and access a certain NetCam-2. The list is on an Internet homepage of
NetCam-2(www.NetCam-2.to).
(1) Auto IP Registration Function
Administrator may register one’s NetCam-2 by enabling ‘Auto IP Registration Function’. Registration process
is that NetCam-2 detects IP addresses from DHCP server and informs the detected IP addresses to dynamic IP
registration server. And the server updates already registered informations with new one. Please keep in mind
that user have to enable ‘DHCP Client Protocol’ at ‘Network Configuration’ page to have NetCam-2 get
dynamic IP addresses automatically, when NetCam-2 is installed on a network of dynamic IP address. With
‘Auto IP Registration Function’ menu, a NetCam-2 of fixed IP address can also be registered on the list.
(2) Registration Server Address
This is to configure a server address for registration. To manage the registration server(WRS Front-End) for
Dynamic IP registration personally, you should install proper S/W, developed by Philips If you do not run a
server for IP registration personally, keep the server’s name as default figure (NetCam-2.to).
(3) Registration Interval
Dynamic IP addresses are commonly used with xDSL, ISDN or Cable Modem lines. In order to maintain
continuous connectivity, user should reset the ‘Registration Interval’ at a shorter time interval than the default
value. If the registered IP information on the dynamic IP registration server is to be changed, some user may
not access the NetCam-2.
(4) Add Public List
There are two registration systems. One is to register on a public list and the other is on a private list. (Please
refer to Article 5) ‘How to find registered NetCam-2 in NetCam-2 Internet homepage’ for more detailed
information.)
• Public List: This list is open to anyone who accesses NetCam-2 Internet homepage
(www.NetCam-2.to).
• Private List: This list is not seen to anyone. Even the owner of a NetCam-2 can’t get the information
on one’s NetCam-2 without viewing information on other’s NetCam-2.
(5) Access Token
Access token is a password and it is used when you register your own NetCam-2 on a list ‘User’s NetCam-2’
out of all NetCam-2s on WRS(NetCam-2 Registration Server.) Please refer to Article 5) ‘How to find
registered NetCam-2 in NetCam-2 Internet homepage’ for more detailed information.
