Belkin Routers with iCU2

By admin in : Routers // Jan 21 2010

The information below will assist you in setting up one or more computer on iCU2 with a Belkin Router

(Note: Do NOT use the iCU2 settings listed in the pull down menu on the Belkin Admin Page. They are outdated and incorrect)

This information is for the Belkin 54g Wireless Cable/ADSL router model #F5D7230-4 but should work with all Belkin Routers

*Always make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your Router before proceeding (unless otherwise stated). Check your Router manufacturer’s Support Area on their website to obtain the newest firmware.

If you have only 1 computer to setup, or if this is the first computer you are setting up for iCU2:

On iCU2:
1: Go into Tools – Options – Ports
2: Make sure you are set to “Network” connection
3: In Normal Ports and Network Ports areas make sure you have:
Primary Port: TCP 2000
Secondary Port: TCP 2001
ie:

4: Also, take note of your IP Address. It most likely will not be the same as the one above. You have to take note of the IP address you see in your iCU2 window.

5:Click on OK and close iCU2

On The Belkin:
1: Log into the Admin Area for the Belkin Router and go to the “Virtual Servers” area

2: Make an entry similar to the one below. Remember that you have to use the IP address you took note of (not necessarily the same as the one in the screenshot). Also remember to tick/check the “Enable” box.

The Virtual Server Area should look something like this after you have set it up for iCU2 on 1 computer.

3: Click on “Apply Changes”

4: Start iCU2

If you want to add a second, third, fourth computer / iCU2 to your home network, make sure you have setup the first computer as detailed above, then do this to add the subsequent computers / iCU2s:

On The Belkin:

1: Log into the Admin Area for the Belkin Router and go to the “Virtual Servers” area

2: Make an new entry, this time directing TCP 2002-2003 to the IP address of computer 2. Remember that you have to use the IP address you took note of for computer 2. Also remember to tick/check the “Enable” box.

The Virtual Server Area should look something like this after you have set it up for 2 iCU2s

3: Click on “Apply Changes”

If you want to add a third computer, simply follow the instructions for the second computer remembering to give iCU2′s Tools – Options – Ports unique ports (ie 2004-2005) and then make another entry in the Virtual Server for iCU2-3
