Default Gateway
Devices (PCs, IP cameras/Servers, etc.) on your network connect to the Internet via gateway. For
most home networks, a NAT type router serves as the gateway. For office LANs, the gateway may
be a PC running gateway software. To access any devices on your network from Internet, it must
know the LAN IP address of your gateway. If your XL-ICA100U IP Camera is set up to use DHCP,
then it will retrieve this information automatically from your router.
However, if you have configured your camera to use a static IP address, you must be sure that you
have set the correct gateway IP address in order to connect your XL-ICA100U IP Camera to the
Internet.
If your XL-ICA100U IP Camera is now live on the Internet, browsing your XL-ICA100U IP
Camera from the Internet is the same as browsing on your LAN except that you must enter your
WAN IP address instead of the LAN IP address.
