Frequently Asked Questions
What is D-Link´s i2eye?
i2eye (TM) is a breakthrough communications video appliance that
provides IP videoconferencing and connects to any standard television.
Simple to install and use, the small unit sits on top of the television and
contains a video camera that can stream up to 30 frames per second
over the Internet to friends, family and business associates.
When connecting my DVC-1000 behind a router or firewall, what
ports do I need to open?
The VideoPhone needs ports 1720 (TCP) and ports 15328-15333 (TCP
and UDP) open to function properly. Consult your router’s documentation
or your network administrator for help on doing this. Check the D-Link
Tech Support website for more information regarding specific ports to
open on your D-Link routers.
I’ve seen videophones that connect using the phone line, and the
picture is always small and choppy. How is i2eye different?
i2eye connects over high-speed broadband, and it delivers up to 30
frames per second. Videophones using a slow analog plain old telephone
line can’t deliver smooth video pictures over their small LCD display.
They show what appears to be a series of still pictures rather than full
motion video
What is the D-Link LDAP Directory Service?
The D-Link LDAP Directory Service is a D-Link hosted server which will allow
you to register a “phone number” with your DVC-1000 VideoPhone. When
someone with a DVC-1000 dials this “phone number”, your DVC-1000 will
ring and you will be able to accept a call. In the same manner you can call
others by dialing their “phone number”. This allows you to contact another
DVC-1000 without knowing it´s IP address. All DVC-1000 which are con-
nected to a broadband modem will have the capability of using the D-Link
LDAP Directory Service.

Can I use the DVC-1000 with a computer and monitor instead of a
TV?
Yes. The DVC-1000 can be used with a computer and monitor instead of
a TV. However, you will need a TV Tuner / Video Capture device or a
video card that accepts video input from an RCA jack.
