The camera also automatically searches the unused IP address on your network. If you select [Yes] at Allow Access from the Internet, the camera automatically enables port forwarding by using UPnP TM. In this case, the camera automatically searches the unused port number on your network in the order of 80 and 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.

SettingDescription 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 of 80 and 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 Number (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 13 in the Installation/Troubleshooting guide). 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.
Operating Instructions 35 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 subnet mask as your PC (see page 106). 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 114). But [Space], [], [], [&], [] are not available. 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. Setting Description

Operating Instructions 37 2.3 Using Wireless LAN Wireless communication is possible by adjusting the settings of the wireless LAN to those for the wireless 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. SettingDescription SSID The SSID must be set to match the SSID your wireless 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— may make the baud rate of 802.11g slower.

Operating Instructions 38 3.Set each parameter for the Encryption. SettingDescription Cipher Select encrypting or not encrypting. To prevent unauthorized users from reading data, selecting [WEP] is recommended. WEP Selection Checked WEPKey is used as a standard WEPKey. Check the same number as the router. WEPKey1—4 Select one from [HEX, 10 characters 64 bit], [HEX, 26 characters 128 bit], [HEX, 32 characters 152 bit], [ASCII 5 characters 64 bit], [ASCII 13 characters 128 bit] or [ASCII 16 characters 152 bit] on the list. Selecting [WEP] at Cipher enables you to set WEPKey1— 4. One or all of the four keys can be set. Check the same key number as set to the wireless router, and set the same key as at the wireless router. HEX, 10 characters 64 bit:012345abcd HEX, 26 characters 128 bit:0123456789abcdef012 345abcd HEX, 32 characters 152 bit:0123456789abcdef012 3456789abcdef ASCII 5 characters 64 bit:012yz ASCII 13 characters 128 bit:0123456uvwxyz ASCII 16 characters 152 bit:0123456789uvwxyz
Operating Instructions 39 Notes Some wireless devices do not support the WEP 152 bit. The camera supports only the open system authentication. If the wireless router or access point is set to shared key authentication, set it to auto or open system. 4.Click [Save] when finished. New settings are saved. When finished, Success! is displayed. 5.Click [Go to Wireless configuration page]. The Wireless page is displayed. 6.Set the switch to WIRELESS. Notes Encryption is a help to protect data within wireless LAN from third parties. Enter both the MAC addresses for the camera itself and the cameras wireless module to enable the MAC address filtering feature on the wireless router. The wireless module MAC address is one value higher than the camera MAC address. It takes about 1 minute for the new settings to be effective. It is not possible to access the camera simultaneously by both wired and wireless connection. To communicate using wireless connection, set up the camera by using wired connection and set the switch from wired to wireless as shown below. Even if the camera is set to wired connection, it emits electrical waves for about 5 minutes after the power has been on. During this time, the routers wireless indicator is on or blinking. Electrical waves will stop being transmitted after about 5 minutes. When you switch wired to wireless or vice versa, restart the camera. Some routers also may need to be restarted after switching.

Operating Instructions 40 2.4 Using UPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play) UPnPTM can automatically configure your router to be accessed from the Internet. In order to use this feature, your router needs to support this feature and it must be enabled. Most router manufacturers disable this feature as the default setting. See http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for details and see your routers manual for how to enable UPnPTM. After the UPnPTM is enabled on the router, set [Enable] for auto port forwarding. 1.Click [UPnP] on the Setup page. 2.Set up UPnP. 3.Click [Save] when finished. New settings are saved. When finished, Success! is displayed. 4.Click [Go to UPnP page]. The UPnP page is displayed. SettingDescription Auto Port Forwarding If the network setting is [Static] or [DHCP], enabling auto port forwarding allows you to access the camera from the Internet. Note If the network setting is [Automatic Setup], enable [Allow Access from the Internet] on the Network page (see page 34). Display Shortcut Icon in My Network Places Enabling it displays a shortcut to the camera in the My Network Places folder. Note If you use Windows XP or Windows Me, this feature is available. Enable UPnPTM Windows component before using this feature (see page 113).
