D-Link Routers and iCU2

By admin in : Uncategorized // Feb 17 2010

The information below will assist you in setting one or more computer on iCU2 with a D-LinkRouter (this is for the D-Link 624 , but should work on all D-Link 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:

Normal Ports – iCU2 Listens for connections on THIS COMPUTER at the following ports
Primary (TCP): 2000	Secondary (TCP): 2001
Network / Router / Firewall Ports Routed to this computer (IP Address: 192.168.0.xxx)
Primary (TCP): 2000	Secondary (TCP): 2001

4: Also, take note of your IP Address (you will need it later). 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 Router:
1: Log into the Router’s Admin Area (on internet explorer type in 192.168.0.1 and hit enter or go)

2: Type in your username/password for the Router. By default this Router’s login information is:

Username: admin
Password: (leave empty)

And then click on OK or Login

3: Go into the Virtual Servers area by clicking on the tab for “Advanced” (at the top) then “Virtual Server” (on the left)

4: Make an entry similar to this:

Enabled: selected
Name: iCU2-1a
Private IP: (enter the IP address you took note of)
Protocol Type: TCP
Private Port: 2000
Public Port: 2000
Schedule: Always

5: Click on Apply and that entry should be added to the Virtual Servers List, something like this:

Name	Private IP	Protocol	Schedule
iCU2-1a	(IP address you took note of)	TCP 2000/2000	Always

6: Now make another entry (do not overwrite the one you have just created), like this:

Enabled: selected
Name: iCU2-1b
Private IP: (enter the IP address you took note of)
Protocol Type: TCP
Private Port: 2001
Public Port: 2001
Schedule: Always

5:Click on Apply and that entry should be added to the Virtual Servers List, something like this:

Name	Private IP	Protocol	Schedule
iCU2-1a	(IP address you took note of)	TCP 2000/2000	Always
iCU2-1b	(IP address you took note of)	TCP 2001/2001	Always

6: Click on “Logout” and then try iCU2

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

On the second computer’s 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 2002
Secondary Port: TCP 2003

ie:

Normal Ports – iCU2 Listens for connections on THIS COMPUTER at the following ports
Primary (TCP): 2002	Secondary (TCP): 2003
Network / Router / Firewall Ports Routed to this computer (IP Address: 192.168.0.xxx)
Primary (TCP): 2002	Secondary (TCP): 2003

4: Also, take note of your IP Address.(you will need it later). 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 Router:

1: Log into the Router’s Admin Area (on internet explorer type in 192.168.0.1 and hit enter or go)

2: Type in your username/password for the Router. By default this Router’s login information is:

Username: admin
Password: (leave empty)

And then click on OK or Login

3: Go into the Virtual Servers area by clicking on the tab for “Advanced” (at the top) then “Virtual Server” (on the left)

4: Make an entry similar to this:

Enabled: selected
Name: iCU2-2a
Private IP: (enter the IP address you took note of)
Protocol Type: TCP
Private Port: 2002
Public Port: 2002
Schedule: Always

5:Click on Apply and that entry should be added to the Virtual Servers List, something like this:

Name	Private IP	Protocol	Schedule
iCU2-1a	(computer 1′s IP address)	TCP 2000/2000	Always
iCU2-1b	(computer 1′s IP address)	TCP 2001/2001	Always
iCU2-2a	(IP address of computer 2)	TCP 2002/2002	Always

6: Now make another entry (do not overwrite the ones you have just created), like this:

Enabled: selected
Name: iCU2-2b
Private IP: (enter the IP address you took note of)
Protocol Type: TCP
Private Port: 2003
Public Port: 2003
Schedule: Always

5:Click on Apply and that entry should be added to the Virtual Servers List, something like this:

Name	Private IP	Protocol	Schedule
iCU2-1a	(computer 1′s IP address)	TCP 2000/2000	Always
iCU2-1b	(computer 1′s IP address)	TCP 2001/2001	Always
iCU2-2a	(IP address of computer 2)	TCP 2002/2002	Always
iCU2-2b	(IP address of computer 2)	TCP 2003/2003	Always

6: Click on “Logout” and then try iCU2

If you want to add more computers / iCU2s to your home network, it is simply a case of following the steps again for the second computer and changing the settings so that each computer/iCU2 has it’s own unique values. Ie, computer 3 would have:

Primary Port: TCP 2004
Secondary Port: TCP 2005

being forwarded to the local IP address of that computer.

Please remember that it is not iCU2′s responsibility to assist you in setting up your Firewall or Networking Device. We can provide you with the basic information. However, any problems you encounter or any questions you have should be directed at the manufacturer of that Firewall / Router. All fixes you attempt are done at your own risk.
