press [Enter] on the keyboard.

• When port number is 80 (default), you do not need to enter port number.

See page 32 for details about port number , and pag e 11 in the Instal lation/

Troubleshooting.

• If the Internet access to the camera is desired, the port number will be

changed in the order from 50000 to 50050. It is changed because some

ISPs block port 80.
