Using the DVC-1000 with Routers, Gateways or Broadband Modems Opening Ports on Your Routers and Gateways The firewall security features built into most routers and gateways may 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 often blocked from access over the Internet by the firewall features of the router. You may be able to connect to another VideoPhone, but not receive any video or audio. This is a typical scenario of a firewall blocking the ports needed by the DVC-1000 to send audio and video. If this is the case, you need to open the ports on your router to the Internet to allow access to the DVC-1000. The port numbers used by the DVC-1000 are: 1720 15328 15329 15330 15331 15332 15333 The router or gateway that you are using may be different from the D-Link.

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 WBR-2310 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. 43
