Set WAN Access

Set WAN Access

In some complicated network environments, you need to set a static IP address or a domain name and ports for HikCentral Professional to enable it to access the SYS server via WAN (Wide Area Network). For example, if the SYS server is in a local area network, and you need to visit the system via the Web Client or Control Client running in WAN, you should enable WAN access and set a static IP address or domain name and ports for HikCentral Professional.

  1. Click System > Network > WAN Access.
  2. Set the WAN Access switch to ON to enable the WAN access function.
  3. Enter a static IP address or domain name of the server for WAN access.
  4. Set the following ports, including HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP (Real Time Streaming Port), video file streaming port, and WebSocket port.
    Client Communication Port

    Used for Web Client and Control Client to access the system in HTTP protocol. By default, it is 80.

    Client SSL Communication Port

    Used for Web Client and Control Client to access the system in HTTPS protocol. By default, it is 443.

    Real Time Streaming Port

    Used for getting stream for live view via Control Client. By default, it is 554.

    Video File Streaming Port

    Used for getting stream for playback via Control Client. By default, it is 10000.

    Web Client Streaming Port

    Used for getting stream via Web Client (for web browser of Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). By default, it is 559.

  5. Optional: If you adopts generic event to integrate HikCentral Professional with external sources, you need to set the TCP port and UDP port to receiving the TCP and/or UDP data packages.
    Note:

    For setting the generic event, refer to Configure Generic Event.

  6. Optional: For the system with Remote Site Management module, set the port to receive the registration from a Remote Site.
    Note:

    This configuration item is only available for the Central System with a Remote Site Management module based on the License you purchased.

  7. Optional: If you need to manage devices accessing in ISUP protocol, you can set the ports for these ISUP devices, such as registration port, alarm receiving port, streaming port, etc.
    ISUP Registration Port

    Used for the ISUP devices registering to the system. By default, it is 7660.

    ISUP Alarm Receiving Port (TCP)

    Used for receiving alarms from ISUP devices in TCP protocol. By default, it is 7332.

    ISUP Alarm Receiving Port (UCP)

    Used for receiving alarms from ISUP devices in UCP protocol. By default, it is 7334.

    ISUP Streaming Port (via VAG)

    Used for getting stream from ISUP devices via VAG server. By default, it is 7661.

    ISUP Streaming Port (via Plugin)

    Used for getting stream from ISUP devices via Plugin. By default, it is 16000.

    Note:
