Y-cam YCBL03, YCBLB3, YCK003, YCB003, YCW003, and YCEB03 Setup Manual v2012-04-09(1)
If you are planning to use WiFi you will need to physically connect the camera to
the router during the initial setup operation to access the camera’s internal
website.
Using a PoE (Power Over Ethernet) injector the Ethernet cable can also provide
power, making for a single wire installation.
The router is usually a single box that your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
installs to provide Internet service. These single boxes are actually a combo of
modem and router all-in-one. Other times the ISP provides just a modem, and
you add your own router to the mix, which may or may not provide a WiFi
access point. For the purposes of this discussion the router and modem are
assumed to be integrated into one appliance referred to as simply a router.
The router does require power and generally has a few flashing lights. The router
can be identified by a connection from your physical cable TV wire or physical
phone line into the router. This physical wire is the electronic path to and from
the Internet. In a home environment the router is often installed near a TV, if it
has been provided by a cable TV company. In an office environment there is
often a Telephone Room where routers and other telecom equipment are
installed.
Routers generally have 4 or more RJ45 Ethernet connectors to plug in devices
(computers, Internet radios, etc). Some routers also provide wireless access using
WiFi and may or may not have one to three antennae. Any devices connected to
the router either physically with an RJ45 Ethernet cable or wirelessly through
WiFi are said to be on the LAN (Local Area Network).
Devices on the LAN can initiate connections with other devices on the LAN or
the Internet (known as the WAN [Wide Area Network]). However devices on the
WAN are not permitted to initiate connections with devices on the LAN as the
router will not allow it. In this capacity the router functions as a firewall.
