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).
