1- Connect and
RJ-45 cable / CAT 5 (Ethernet), Not provided. So you have to purchase
one depending on the distance that you are setting up the unit to your

wireless)

PART B
CONFIGURATING YOUR ROUTER

(First, if you don't know if you are behind a router, call
your internet provider and give them your modem model number. Sometimes
modem have build-in in router. If you are, ask them to guide you into
where to "OPEN & CLOSE PORTS" or atleast how to get to your "ROUTER
SETTINGS" {Copy down the address to log in and passwords to get in} If
they help you to open those ports for you, ask them which internet browser
to do it from, or if they control it from their station, then give them
the "IP PORT" number that I told you to write down in section PART
A (4). If they tell you that all ports are open and only they
have closed such and such (write them down incase you have to
re-route)

Here
are the steps

1-
Open an internet browser, use the one that it is compatible with the
router. Or anyone.

2- In
the address bar, where you type in "www" instead of "www" type in the
address of your router. Sample for Linksys it is "192.168.1.1" for other
name brands they have their own. So please read your modem/router /
router's manual for it. Or simply go to their website or forums to find
out.

3-
After putting the address, press enter on your keyboard and a small pop-up
screen will come out asking you the user/name/ID and password. To find out
please read your modem/router / router's manual for it or ask who
installed for you. Or simply go to their website or forums to find out.
(Don't ask us what it is because we don't know
it.)

4- Search where the router has and "OPENING and CLOSING
PORTS or PORT or Applications & Gaming" press to go to it.
RED circle some
routers or firmwares don't have this section where you can name it, so
don't worry. But if it do just name it "DVR". BLUE
circle you see to little boxes that you have to pu the ports. Look into
the sheet of PART A (4) and in the "Start" put the
port number and for "End" or "Close" put the same port number. In the "Protocol have
them checked. In some models they are not displayed or just one of the two
is there. It is fine. Here in the same
IP that you have in PART A (4) you want to type it in. Enable it as you can see in the yellow
circle. Then save it or press
ok.

5-after this proccess you should be
able to see your router internally with your local IP. Which it is your
local IP. The IP that you wrote down in section PART A (4) Use that IP and
Port numbers.

6-Now to see it from somewhere
outside. Use the your "External IP that your internet provider gave
you"
