Question:

How does the static IP address work?

Answer:

The static IP address works thus:

1. You turn on your PC and it may well have a dynamic IP assigned to it.

2. You startup CAM Wizard.

3. CAM Wizard (behind the scenes) logs in to a ledset server.

4. The ledset server stores your computers IP address.

5. when somebody wants to view your computer they query the ledset server with www.cwzd.com/cam.cgi the usernumber and password are entered into the boxes or they can be added directly to the query URL. You will notice your static URL as it appears in CAM Wizard has 16 characters at the end, these 16 characters are a hexadecimal representation of your unique usernumber and password.

6. The ledset server forwards the querying browser straight to your cam wizard server, i.e. the IP address of your local machine.
