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 that require this option.

Operating Instructions 47 2.4 What is IPsec? IPsec provides security for the transmission of sensitive information over unprotected networks such as the Internet. IPsec authenticates IP packets between participating IPsec devices. Cameras IPsec Features The camera can use IPsec in both IPv4 and IPv6. The camera supports the following IPsec features. Item Supported Feature IKEv1 Pre-shared Key Method Phase 1 mode : Main mode *1 *1 The camera does not support aggressive mode. Phase 2 mode : Quick mode Cipher Algorithm : DES-CBC, 3DES-CBC, AES-CBC (128, 192, 256 bits) Message-Digest Algorithm: HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA-1 IPsec ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) *2 *2 The camera does not support authentication header (AH).

Operating Instructions 48 IPsec Mode Selection Select transport mode or tunnel mode to access the camera. Transport Mode (IPv4 Only) The image is encrypted for the whole way between the camera and your PC. The transport mode is available only in IPv4 for users of Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later. Prepare the following required items: Item Supported Feature PC Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later Web Browser : Internet Explorer 6.0 or later ISP Service : A service for multiple global addresses (A global address must be set up on your PC.) Note To use IPsec, you need to set up your operating system. See the Panasonic Network Camera support website at http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for setup details. Camera ISP Service : A service for multiple global addresses (A global address must be set up to the camera.) Transport Mode Encrypted
Operating Instructions 49 Tunnel Mode (IPv4/IPv6) An IPsec mode of operation where the entire IP packet including IP header is authenticated and encrypted. A new IP header is added (protecting the entire original packet). Both VPN clients and VPN gateways can use this mode. Note The camera can be accessed only from PCs under the VPN router. Other PCs cannot access the camera. Prepare the following required items: Item Supported Feature PC Operating System: Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98SE (in IPv4) : Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later (in IPv6) Web Browser : Internet Explorer 6.0 or later Router ISP Service (in IPv4): A service for static global addresses (A global address must be set up to the WAN side of the router.)
