## Wizard

Internet Connection Setup Wizard - This page is used to set up the DCS-920 using the Wizard to walk you through setting up the camera for your network. This can be done manually using the static IP, automatically using the DHCP client (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a networking protocol that will allow leasing of an IP address by the client from a server for a specified amount of time.) or PPPoE.
PPPoE - (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) If you use the DCS-920 to connect directly to the Internet you will need to put in the user name and password that was given to you when you set up your account with the Internet Service Provider in these fields.
DDNS - (Dynamic Domain Name Server) If you have set up the DDNS service you will need to put in your user name and password in these fields if your DCS-920 is using a public IP Address. This will allow the DDNS to track your IP Address even if it changes.

## Network Setup

LAN Settings - This can be done manually input a fixed IP or automatically using the DHCP Connection (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a networking protocol that will allow leasing of an IP address by the client from a server for a specified amount of time) or PPPoE.
PPPoE(Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) - If you use the DCS-920 to connect directly to the Internet, you will need to enter the valid user name and password that are provided by your Internet Service Provider.
DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names (i.e. www.dlink.com) into IP addresses (i.e. 192.168.0.20). The DNS IP address can be received from your ISP.
Port Settings - Most ISPs do not open port 80 (a DCS-920 default video transfer port) for their residential customers, the DCS-920 has the ability to use a different port by enabling the second http port for its video streaming. Any unused ports can be used such as port 800, 801, etc. Remember that if the DCS-920 was behind a router, you would need to forward that port to the DCS-920's IP Address. When accessing the camera, you would need to type the camera's IP Address and followed by the port number (for example http://192.168.0.20:800).
UPnP Settings - UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. The DCS-920 is an UPnP enabled Internet camera that will work with other UPnP devices. This function is enabled by default. If you do not want to use this feature, you may disable it by selecting Disabled.
