  • The Fonera+ connected to a Level-1 webcam (LAN access port):

From the internet?

  • You could use portforwarding on the GUI of the Fonera (connect to myplace via wifi and visit http://192.168.10.1)
  • Under Advanced you will find "port forwarding"... portforward 554 towards 192.168.10.118 (could be another ip at your place).
  • Forward on your internet router this port towards the fonera+ (status page of the Fonera+ will indicate which ip it has received from your internet router)
  • Find out the ip adres of your internet connection and TRY FROM ANOTHER INTERNET CONNECTION TO REACH IT. (Will not work when inside your own network due to NetworkAdressTranslation(NAT)-issues.
    • Most Internet modems seem to support dyndns.org if you have a "dynamic" ip adres of your provider.
      • The webcam also offers this "ddns" possibility and will report the correct "public" ip of your internet modem!
    • Some Internet modems allow a lockdown so only certain ip's are allowed to connect to this port forwarding...
      • don't forget /TEST is the password...change it to something more secure... (it's not secured against sniffing...)
        • It's connected to "myplace" so people from FON_AP will not be able to "sniff" it unless you actively allow such connectivity to the lan in the "wifi settings" of your Fonera Managment portal (http://192.168.10.1)
