Frequently Asked Questions

1What is D-Link´s i2eye?

i2eye (TM) 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.

2When 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. Consult your router’s documentation or your network administrator for help on doing this. Check the D-Link Tech Support website for more information regarding specific ports to open on your D-Link routers.

3I’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

4What is the D-Link LDAP Directory Service?

The D-Link LDAP Directory Service is a D-Link hosted server which will allow 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 it´s IP address. All DVC-1000 which are con- nected to a broadband modem will have the capability of using the D-Link LDAP Directory Service.

5Can 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.
