2Wire Router Configuration for Remote Access
This section describes the steps of setting up a 2Wire router for
remote access of Air Mic. The 2Wire router is commonly used
by AT&T/Yahoo home DSL service.
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 2Wire Router
Open a web browser window and type in the address:
http://192.168.1.254
to bring up the administration console for your router.
Go to the Firewall tab, and select
Firewall Settings. At "Select a computer", find the
IP address of your Mac that you found from Step 1.
At "Edit firewall setting for this computer,", select "Allow
individual applications" and click "Add a new user-defined
application."
Enter "Air Mic" under Application Name; select TCP
at Protocol, and "1726" to "1727" as the Port
(or Range). Click Add Definition button to
finish.
Back to the Settings page, select Air Mic you
just added and click "Add" to add it to the list of Hosted
Applications. Click "Done" to finish this step.
Your firewall setting should now look like the following, with
the IP address of your computer listed and Air Mic as an "allowed
application".
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 Mic 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 Mic on your computer. Then, start Air Mic 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
computer
on your iPhone/iPod via remote access.
