Frequently Asked Questions 1 What is D-Link´s i2eye? i2eyeTM is a breakthrough communications video appliance that provides IP videoconferencing and connects to any standard television. Simple to install and use, the small unit sits on top of the television and contains a video camera that can stream up to 30 frames per second over the Internet to friends, family and business associates. 2 When connecting my DVC-1000 behind a router or firewall, what ports do I need to open? The VideoPhone needs ports 1720 (TCP) and ports 15328-15333 (TCP and UDP) open to function properly. See the section Using the DVC-1000 with Routers, Gateways or Broadband Modems on page 43, or consult your router's documentation or your network administrator for help on doing this. 3 I've seen videophones that connect using the phone line, and the picture is always small and choppy. How is i2eye different? . i2eye connects over high-speed broadband, and it delivers up to 30 frames per second. Videophones using a slow analog plain old telephone line can't deliver smooth video pictures over their small LCD display. They show what appears to be a series of still pictures rather than full motion video. 4 What is the D-Link Directory Service? The D-Link Directory Service is a D-Link hosted server which allows you to register a "phone number" with your DVC-1000 VideoPhone. When someone with a DVC-1000 dials this "phone number", your DVC-1000 will ring and you will be able to accept a call. In the same manner you can call others by dialing their "phone number". This allows you to contact another DVC-1000 without knowing its IP address. Any DVC-1000 connected to a broadband modem will have the capability of using the Directory Service. 5 Can I use the DVC-1000 with a computer and monitor instead of a TV? Yes. The DVC-1000 can be used with a computer and monitor instead of a TV. However, you will need a TV Tuner / Video Capture device or a video card that accepts video input from an RCA jack. 55
