Sixteenth Day

Assalamualaikum....hye-hye...

#Today I proceed with IP camera. I suspect the reason of unsuccessful on IP camera because can't enable for auto port forwarding. But I more interest to find the reason why UPnP can't be enable because UPnP is a set of networking protocol that permits networked devices. If UPnP can't be enable, it can't permit IP camera to access on internet.

Problems with UPnP:

1. Lack of authentication
   * UPnP does not implement any authentication,so UPnP device implement the Device Security Service. It also exist a non standard solution called UPnP-UP(Universal Plug and Play-User Profile) that allow user authentication and authorization mechanisms for UPnP devices and applications. Many UPnP device implementations lack authentication mechanisms and by default assume local systems and their users are completely trustworthy. Most notably, routers and firewall running the UPnP IGD protocol are vulnerable to attack since the framers of the IGD implementation omitted a standard autentication method. This allow a router implementing the UPnP IGD protocol to be controlled by a malicious web site when someone with UPnP-enabled router simply visits that website. Not all router can have such things as DNS server setting altered by UPnP because much of the specification (including LAN Host Configuration) is optional for UPnP enable routers.
2. Accepting WAN request
   *Daniel Garcia developed a tool designed to exploit a flaw on some UPnP IGD device stack that allow UPnP request from WAN but the problem is widely propagated around the world, with scan showing at least 500000 vulnerable device at a time.
3. Other problems
   *UPnP does not have a lightweight authentication protocol, while the available security protocols are complex. So, some UPnP devices ships with UPnP turned off by default as a security measure.
   
   #I try to change on setting for port forwarding on router configuration, but there also the problem because the port that used by viewnetcam or IP camera we just know about the default port only. It is 80 for the default. If we use the special port for IP camera, we must set the viewnetcam add the number of the port. For example port is 80, the link should be http://hiis2012.viewnetcam.com:8000.
   
   #I can't solve the problem yet, and it will continue tomorrow. We bring back IP camera and router to test at home.
   
   
   

Fifteenth Day

Assalamualaikum....good morning everybody...It is morning?or afternoon?or evening?or night?or whatever la.....may Allah bless you......Y^_^Y

Today I more to finished up my logbook. The routine that I do along this practical that I update on my blog be my reference to write on logbook. But there a lot of thing that I must write on because I update my logbook rarely compare to my blog. My blog will update everyday, so, it seem that the thing that I learned just a little thing. But I realize that the things that  I learned on HIIS are the huge experiences because it more something that I'm not learned on class.

I also continue to troubleshoot on IP camera that I can't solve for a week maybe. It been little bit difficult to find the cause because what learned on class not as what we do on industry. That's why industry training importance to student that want to do FYP(Final Year Project) for fourth year student. My note from last not help me to find the characteristic that IPv4 can't auto port forwarding. The note about auto port forwarding not include on my Data Communication and Network note.

The troubleshoot will be continue next Monday...

Fourteenth Day

Assalamualaikum....Nice to see you again....V^o^V

Today like yesterday. Today I continue to troubleshoot the IP camera about what make it not display on viewnetcam website. I try to search for IPv4 and IPv6 but there no clue about why it not function. I change setting on internet(camera) for IPv4 and I notice about UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) on IPv4 that we need to enable the UPnP on camera and router.

So, I go to router website to change the setting on UPnP for enable. After that, I change the setting for the Internet(camera) for enable auto port forwarding on IPv4. But the result still same. It failed to test on internet. I go to setting on UPnP to confirm that UPnP is enable and can be display the camera on internet, it shown that the UPnP already save setting for enable on IPv4 and via internet. I check on maintenance for setting on UPnP, it shown that UPnP still disable. The description about UPnP like figure below.

I try to change the setting on router for UPnP for the second time. The result is so sad because the status on maintenance became the router was not detected or configuration was unsuccessful. When Mr.Mazran asked about the progress IP camera, I told about the problem on UPnP although all setting seem fine. He told to do some research on internet about the problem that I have. Maybe before this, there also have the problem to setting on auto port forwarding on UPnP.

The reseach about IP camera will be continue tomorrow.

Thirteenth Day

Assamualaikum.....I'm hope you all be fine....^_^

Today I continue troubleshoot the IP camera. Early in the morning, I used modem to setup the IP camera because broadband still with Mr.Mazran. Continue...continue...and continue...What should I do for this problem? Everything look fine at the setup and it already have the DNS from viewnetcam but can't access.

I try to change the setup on internet which are include IPv4, IPv6 and register on Viewnetcam.com. When I enable the IPv4 for auto port forwarding on internet, it shown the notice "For auto port forwarding, the port number may change. In this case, register the camera address's new port number with the PC or Network Camera Recorder" and after save this setup, I must wait for 5minute for loading. This setup failed to test on Internet when I enable the auto port forwarding IPv4. This only failed to setup when I enable to IPv4. So, I find from Internet about IPv4 and the forum that discuss about the same problem as mine.

In the camera troubleshoot, it also not mention about failure on IPv4 when it setup. As the manual, it shown that the setup already complete when it save IPv4 for enable in auto port forwarding. Differences cases with my situation right now.

After break, I change the router to broadband. As yesterday, I also have problem with the light on camera. It flashing orange eventhough it already can access from laptop. Figure below shown the description about light on camera.

Try to troubleshoot by using broadband as the router for our IP camera but the flashing orange light on camera also make me curious why the problem occur when I change the router. But for me, it not the big problem because we can access the camera eventhough it flashing orange like the signal of not connect with the router.

Both router( broadband and modem), we take it home to analyse at home. I also used Wifi modem at home and camera light green, after that it became flashing orange. So, I change to modem that usually use to test. I also take out my Data Communication and Networking note from last semester. Review on Bridge and Router. I also search for IPv4 and IPv6. This installation unsuccessful. So, I will continue tomorrow....

~BYE-BYE~

Twelfth Day

Assalamualaikum.... I'm still on this blog...>.<

Task for today is to find the solution why IP camera can't view on viewnetcam.com eventhough I already register and get the IP address(DDNS) for IP camera. If it functional successfully, IP camera can display on http://hiis2012.viewnetcam.com. It as the special DNS for HIIS after register on Viewnetcam.com. Viewnetcam.com are recommendation by Panasonic that produce IP camera that I use.

I look up at the manual of troubleshooting and try to find if there something that I can fixed for display the image. I wonder why I has the DDNS from viewnetcam not can't access by using same router with camera or the different internet access. For troubleshoot the problem, I more to reading from internet if there anything from other people that have the same problem.

I also change the modem for router from modem internet access into broadband internet access. This is because the modem have low signal compare to broadband. But there still have the same problem that it can't display on viewnetcam. There are additional problem that laptop can access the internet but the light on camera still blinking orange. For the information, if the orange display means that there is something wrong with connection on router and camera. But the laptop still can display on wireless image from camera from link http://192.168.1.253. I need to fixed what wrong with the router and why that the camera access display status that error on the port when I used broadband.

Eleventh Day

Assalamualaikum.....everyday I'm here....

Like the usual task, in the morning I have to finish up update my blog. After update my blog, I have to continue general task that given on last Friday. At home, I already test IP camera for wired and it already display image from camera to my laptop. But for the wireless I unsuccessful yet at home. So, I try to find what wrong with my installation yesterday. Figure below show the installation of IP camera for wired and wireless. The light will turn on green when it successfully function for wired or wireless. When it turn light on orange, it probability between IP camera not functional, IP camera restart or IP camera just turn on for a few second. 

Figure below show the connection between camera and router. This picture is IP camera connection for wired. For wireless, the straight wired will be remove from camera and router and button on Wired/Wireless should be press to wireless.

For wireless connection on IP camera, mistake that I done is change the SSID camera for the wrong name. So, it can't detect the router that I use. So, I change the SSID camera same like SSID router to match both of them. The full installation about IP camera will post on a special post...-------(Special Post[IP Camera])
