The first step to performing this configuration step is to log into your
router’s configuration pages. This is normally done by opening up a web
browser and typing in the IP Address of the router (this is the value called
default gateway on your computer - generally something like 192.168.0.1).
After you have logged into the router (refer to the router’s manual for details)
you will be presented with a web page similar to that shown in figure C.3.
Browse through the menus to find the port forwarding/virtual server
fields (usually in either the security or gaming sections - as above, see your
manual). This page should look similar to the window shown in C.4 and
have a number of fields used to enter the necessary parameters and configure
the server. Once you are in the appropriate location enter the following
information into the provided form:
• Application Name - Used simply to remind you of the meaning of
the entry. Enter the string ’ITP’ or simply ’FTP’ in this field.
• Source Port (or just Port) - Enter port 21 into this field. If you are
prompted for a range, simply enter 21-21 to limit things to the port
used by the FTP protocol.
• Destination Port - Enter the same value as you did above.
• Protocol - Select TCP as the FTP protocol runs on top of the TCP
transport layer.
• IP Address - Enter the IP Address of the computer running ITP. If
you are unsure of this, go to the control centre and check the list of
addresses mapped to the adapter - select the one most similar to the
address of the router and enter it here.
Once the above parameters are entered, save your changes and then exit
the web interface for the changes to take effect. The configuration you just
entered will now allow incoming FTP connections to pass through the router
and be passed to your computer. Once there, ITP will then handle the in-
coming files as if they were received directly by the computer and will be able
to handle images coming in from any location with an internet connection.
The next step is to set up your camera to make use of this ability.
