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.

Operating Instructions 32 Setting Description Allow Access from the Internet (Automatic Setup Only) Allow Access from the Internet setting automatically configures the routers 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. Por t Nu mb er (Static/DHCP Only) You can set the camera port number (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 11 1.5 Connecting the Camera to a Router Not Supporting UPnP 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 99). 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 107). But [Space], [], [], [&], [] are not available.
Operating Instructions 33[For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033] Default Gateway *1 (Static/DHCP Only) If you have the assigned Default Gateway address by your ISP or network administrator, enter it in this data field. 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. DNS Server Address *1 (Static/DHCP Only) DNS server address is required in the following conditions. Transferring camera images by E-mail or FTP Setting cameras by their host names on the Multi- Camera Setup page Using the Viewnetcam.com service If you have the assigned DNS server addresses by your ISP or network administrator, enter them in this data field. They usually have two addresses. 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. Max. Bandwidth Usage The bandwidth can be restricted.

Operating Instructions 34 2.3 Using Wireless LAN Wireless communication is possible by adjusting the settings of the wireless LAN to those for the router. Take a note of the settings and save them for reference. For more information about wireless setting, please refer to http://panasonic.co.jp/ pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ 1.Click [Wireless] on the Setup page. 2.Set each parameter for the Wireless Configuration. Setting Description SSID The SSID must be set to match the SSID your router or wireless LAN uses. The SSID is limited to 32 characters (alpha numeric) and is case sensitive. Communication mode In 802.11b, there are a lot of 802.11b-compliant products and they are inexpensive. They are widely prevalent, so 802.11b is useful when using your existing wireless devices. 802.11b/g supports both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless LAN standards. It is the communication mode that is easy to install on your existing wireless LAN. 802.11g exclusive communicates using 802.11g only. It does not support the mixed standard mode of 802.11b/g, so it allows the use of original features of 802.11g. *1 *1Even if 802.11g exclusive is in use, the existence of other wireless devices using 2.4 GHz bandwidth —including 802.11b wireless devices— makes the baud rate of 802.11g slower.
