Apple Airport Base Configuration for Remote Access
This section describes the steps of setting up Apple's Airport
Base stations (including Airport Express, Airport Extreme, and
Time Capsule) for remote access of Air Cam.
Step 1. Obtain the Local IP Address of Your Computer
Windows XP users, you can get the local IP
address using the instructions
here. Please skip to Step 2.
Windows Vista users, you can get the local IP
address using the instructions
here.
Please skip to Step 2.
Mac users, from the Apple menu, go to System
Preference..., and select Network.
Select Airport (or Ethernet, if
you use wired connection) from the left panel, and take note of
the IP address to the right. Write down this address, as you
will need it to configure the router.
In our example, the Mac IP address is 192.168.1.67 (yours might
be different).
Step 2. Configure Router
Go to the Airport Utility. On Mac, it is
located under Applications->Utilities
Select your airport base model, and click "Manual Setup"
Click the Internet option, and select the
NAT tab. Check Enable default host
at, and enter the IP address you found from Step 1.
In our example, we should enter 192.168.1.67 (yours might be
different).
Click Update to finish the router configuration.
Step 3. Obtain the Public IP of Your Router
Your network carrier assigns an IP address to your router.
This address can change from time to time. You will need to
obtain this address.
Open a browser window on the computer where Air Cam runs, and go
to
http://whatismyip.org. This site shows your router's
IP address.
Step 4. Test Your Connection
Now you are ready to test out your remote connection.
First, start up Air Cam on your computer. Then, start Air Cam on
your iPhone/iPod, and select Manual Connection.
Enter the router IP address you obtained from Step 3.
Congratulations! You are now viewing live feed from your Mac
on your iPhone/iPod via remote access.
