Operating Instructions 67 2.7 Using UPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play) UPnP™ can automatically configure your router to make it accessible from the Internet. In order to use this feature, your router needs to support UPnP™, and it must be enabled. UPnP™ is disabled on most routers by default. Most router manufacturers disable this feature as the default setting. See http:// panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ and your routers manual for details of how to enable UPnP™. After UPnP™ is enabled on the router, set [Enable] for auto port forwarding. Note The camera’s UPnP™ does not support IPv6. Use this feature in IPv4. 1.Click [UPnP] on the Setup page. 2.Set up UPnP™. 3.Click [Save] when finished. The new settings are saved. When finished, Success! is displayed.Setting Description Auto Port Forwarding If the network setting is [Status] or [DHCP], enabling auto port forwarding allows you to access the camera from the Internet. Note If the network setting is [Automatic Setup], also enable [Allow Access from the Internet] on the Network page (see page 50). Display Shortcut Icon in My Network Places Enabling this creates a shortcut to the camera in the My Network Places folder. Note To enable this feature when using Windows XP or Windows Me, enable the UPnP™ Windows component beforehand (see page 189).
Operating Instructions 68 4.Click [Go to UPnP page]. The UPnP page is displayed. 2.7.1 Connecting the Camera to a Router that Supports UPnP ™ (IPv4 Only) To allow access from the Internet with a router supporting UPnP™, follow the procedures shown in Getting Started. Note On some routers, the UPnP™ feature is disabled by default. Enable your routers UPnP™ feature following the router manual before you set up the camera. See the Panasonic Network Camera support website at http:// panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for details. If a maximum idle time is set in PPPoE or PPTP connection with your ISP, disable it on the router. See the router manual for details. 2.7.2 Connecting the Camera to a Router that Does Not Support UPnP ™ (IPv4 Only) To allow access from the Internet with a router that does not support UPnP™, follow the procedures below. 1.Select [Static] on the Network (IPv4) page. 2.Enable port forwarding*1 on the router. Using the IP address and port number noted on step 1-(3), enable port forwarding on the router. See the router manual for how to enable port forwarding. 3.Register with the Viewnetcam.com service. (1) Access the camera (see page 13). (2) Click the [Setup] tab at the top of the page. (3) Select [Static] on the Network page. The Static IP Address Configuration page is displayed. Make a note of the IP address and port number, since they are required to enable port forwarding on the router. Note You must assign a unique IP address and a unique port number to each camera on the LAN. (4) Click [Save] without changing the settings. (5) Click [Restart].
Operating Instructions 69 Port Forwarding feature*1 (IPv4 Only) The port forwarding feature is required to allow camera access from the Internet with a router that does not support UPnP™. It exchanges a local IP address for a global one. Note The IP addresses shown above may differ from those offered on your home network. *1Port forwarding may be called Address translation, Static IP Masquerade, Virtual server or Port mapping in other products.

Operating Instructions 70 2.8 Registering with the DynamicDNS Service DynamicDNS is a service that allows you to assign an easy-to-remember name to the camera, for example, similar to your favorite web site. It also allows you to easily access the camera, even when your ISP changes the IP address. Panasonic Communications recommends that you register with a DynamicDNS to access the camera from the Internet. See http://www.viewnetcam.com for details about the Viewnetcam.com service. 1.Click [DynamicDNS] on the Setup page. When you select [Viewnetcam.com] (see below) When you select [User-specified DynamicDNS] (see page 72) When you select [Disable] 2.Check [Disable] and click [Save]. When finished, Success! is displayed. Clicking [Cancel] cancels your settings without saving changes. When you select [Viewnetcam.com] 2.Check [Viewnetcam.com] and click [Next].
