How to Display the Settings Menus
The settings for the encoder and the decoder are required to operate for the first time respectively. (The settings will be
required also when the settings are initialized.)
The settings for the encoder and the decoder can be performed using a web browser installed on a PC. (Refer to the
"System Requirements" of on page 8 about web browsers that can be used.)
To perform the settings, connect the encoder or the decoder by one of the following.
•Connect the encoder or the decoder to a PC directly (Recommended)
In this case, it is necessary to change the network settings of a PC used for the settings.
•Connect the encoder and the decoder to a network (LAN)
In this case, the network settings of the encoder and the decoder (IP addresses, the default gateway, etc.) are
required to be the same as the settings of the connected network.
Depending on the user's environment, it is necessary to change the network settings of the encoder and the decoder (IP
addresses, subnet masks, etc.).
In this case, using the "Panasonic IP Setup" software (included on the provided CD-ROM) will be useful to perform the
settings.
Refer to the operating instructions (pdf file) on the supplied CD-ROM about the "Panasonic IP Setup" software and the
settings of the encoder and the decoder.
Refer to these operating instructions for how to display the top page of the settings menus.
Before Starting Settings
Perform the following before starting settings.
1. Connect the encoder, the decoder and the PC in either way shown in the illustration below.
2. Turn the power switch of the encoder or the decoder to ON after the connection.

Setup with the Provided "Panasonic IP Setup"Software
Set up the network of the encoder/decoder by using the "Panasonic IP Setup" software included on the provided CD-
ROM.
Note:If a firewall (including software) exists, allow access to all UDP ports. Otherwise, it is impossible to use the
"Panasonic IP Setup" software.
Items included in the software
•IPSETUP (Panasonic IP Setup)
•Operating Instructions (pdf file)
1. Double click the "IPSETUP" icon.
The "Panasonic IP Setup" starts up.
The MAC address and the IP address of the connected encoder/decoder will be displayed. (Click the [REFRESH]
button if they are not displayed.)
2. Click the MAC address/IP address of the
encoder/decoder to be set up.
3. Click the [NETWORK SETUP] button. 
						

							34
The setup window appears.
SETUP
4. Set parameters for each item.
"IP Address"
"Subnet Mask"
"Default Gateway"
"DNS Server address"
5. Click the [SET] button after completing the
settings.
Important:It takes around 20 seconds to
complete the settings of the
encoder/decoder after the [SET] button is
pressed. If the power cord or the Ethernet
cable is detached before the settings are
completed, the settings may not be
performed correctly.
6. Turn off the power switch of encoder/decoder.
7. Two seconds after, turn on the power switch
again. The settings will be activated. 
						

							35
Begin the setup when the PC is in the same condition as it is just
after startup.
The "Control Panel" window appears.
1. Select "Control Panel" ([Start] - [Settings] -
[Control Panel]).
2. Click once to select the [Network] icon.
Network Setup of the PC 
To set up the network of the PC, first change the TCP/IP settings of the PC to match the default settings of the
encoder/recoder. The following are the default network settings of the encoder/recoder.
•IP address of the encoder: 192.168.0.10
•IP address of the decoder: 192.168.0.11
•Subnet mask (both the encoder and the decoder): 255.255.255.0
•Default gateway (both the encoder and the decoder): 192.168.0.1
To access the camera, the IP address of the PC should be "192.168.0.XXX" (where XXX should be a number from 2
to 254 except 10 and 11). If the IP address of the encoder/recoder is set with the "Panasonic IP Setup" software,
perform the network setting of the PC according to the network environment.
The settings differ depending on which OS is installed on the PC. Confirm which OS is installed on your PC, and
proceed with the settings corresponding to your OS.
