Setting up port forwarding for the web interface and IP camera

This setup guide describes how to configure the Behnke Station for access via port forwarding behind a NAT router.

Separate forwarded ports can be specified for the web interface and the camera image.

It is assumed that the Behnke-Station is already set up to the extent that access to the web interface is possible. If this is not the case, please follow the instructions provided with your base electronics (manualsThis page carries no version.

1. Setting up port forwarding for the web interface

• Open your browser
• Go to the web interface of the Behnke Station
• Log in

• Click the menu item Network in the sidebar on the left
• Navigate to the section Port forwarding

The following settings are available for the web interface:

HTTP port of the web server

Internal port of the Behnke Station: 80

Default for the forwarded port: 80

Enter the external port here that is forwarded in the router to port 80 of the Behnke Station.

Example:

Extern: 10080
Intern: 80

The following is then set in the Behnke Station:

HTTP-Port des Webservers (80): 10080

HTTPS port of the web server

Internal port of the Behnke Station: 443

Default for the forwarded port: 443

Enter the external port here that is forwarded in the router to port 443 of the Behnke Station.

Example:

Extern: 10443
Intern: 443

The following is then set in the Behnke Station:

HTTPS-Port des Webservers (443): 10443

Port forwarding for the web interface is normally detected automatically. Manually specifying the forwarded port is therefore not necessary in every case.

2. Setting up port forwarding for the IP camera

For a Behnke Station with a camera, port forwarding for the camera image must be set up in addition.

The ports used for this differ from the ports of the web interface.

HTTP port of the IP camera

Internal port: 8080

Default for the forwarded port: 8080

Example:

Extern: 18080
Intern: 8080

The following is set in the Behnke Station:

HTTP-Port der IP-Kamera (8080): 18080

HTTPS port of the IP camera

Internal port: 8443

Default for the forwarded port: 8443

Example:

Extern: 18443
Intern: 8443

The following is set in the Behnke Station:

HTTPS-Port der IP-Kamera (8443): 18443

3. Example configuration

A possible configuration using HTTPS can look like this, for example:

Internet
   |
   | HTTPS
   |
Router / Firewall
   |
   +-- Port 10443 --> Behnke-Station Port 443
   |
   +-- Port 18443 --> Behnke-Station Port 8443

The following port forwarding rules are set up in the router:

The following values are configured accordingly in the Behnke Station:

HTTPS-Port des Webservers (443): 10443
HTTPS-Port der IP-Kamera (8443): 18443

4. Saving and testing

• Click Save to save the configuration
• Then test access from a network outside the local network.
• Using the example, the web interface is accessed via:

https://[öffentliche Adresse]:10443

• The camera image is provided via the configured port forwarding for port 8443.
