2.2 Connecting the Camera to Your IPv4 Network
The Network page offers three options to configure the camera in IPv4.
• [Automatic Setup] automatically assigns an unused IP address to the camera, 
and uses UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to configure your router.
• [Static] allows the user to use a specific IP address.
• [DHCP] is offered for ISPs who require this option.
1.Click [Network (IPv4)] on the Setup page.
2.Click a connection mode.
• Each page is displayed (see page 38—page 39).
3.Enter each parameter in the proper data field.
Automatic Setup
The camera automatically obtains the network settings (subnet mask, default 
gateway and DNS server address) utilizing a DHCP feature on the router. The 
camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network. 
If you select [Yes] at the Allow Access from the Internet, the camera 
automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnP. In this case, the camera 
automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order 
from 50000 to 50050.
• Clicking [Cancel] takes you back to the previous page without saving 
changes.
Normally sets Automatic Setup.
Uses a static IP address.
Uses ISP DHCP server function.

Setting Description
Allow Access from 
the Internet 
(Automatic Setup 
Only)• Allow Access from the Internet setting automatically 
configures the router's Port Forwarding setting (some 
routers call it "Address Translation", "Static IP 
Masquerade", "Virtual Server" or "Port Mapping"). To 
enable Internet access to the camera, check [Yes]. In this 
case, the camera automatically searches the unused port 
number on your network in the order from 50000 to 50050. 
To disable Internet access to the camera, check [No]. 
Network 
Configuration from 
Setup Program 
(Static/DHCP Only)• If you prohibit the Setup Program from changing the 
network settings, clear the check box.
Port Number 
(Static/DHCP Only)• The port number is 80 by default. When you use multiple 
cameras with a router on your network, each camera must 
be assigned its own port number (see page 29 "1.10 
Connecting the Camera to a Router Not Supporting UPnP 
(IPv4 Only)" in the Installation/Troubleshooting).
• Do not set the following port numbers.
E.g., FTP: 20 and 21, Telnet: 23, SMTP: 25, DNS: 53, 
POP3: 110, HTTPS: 443, ICQ: 4000 and IRC: 6661—
6667.
• Enter only the number (1—65535).
• Some ISPs do not allow you to use port 80. Ask your ISP 
or network administrator about the accessible port number 
over the Internet.
• IP address
• Subnet Mask
(Static Only)• If your ISP or network administrator specifies the IP 
address and subnet mask, enter them in each data field.
• If you use the camera on the LAN, set the IP address in the 
same class as your PC (see page 128).
• Set 4 digits (0—255) and 3 periods such as 
"192.168.0.253". But "0.0.0.0" and "255.255.255.255" are 
not available.
Host Name
(DHCP Only)• If your ISP uses the DHCP function which automatically 
assigns the IP address to the camera, enter the ISP-
assigned host name. (Host name may be used as an 
authentication.)
• Enter ASCII characters for the host name (see page 136). 
But [Space], ["], ['], [&], [] are not available.
