the PC in the way shown on page 23. IP address of the PC can 
be assigned on TCP/IP Properties window to access through 
the steps in the TCP/IP Properties Table on page 127. 
•Confirm that the Network Configuration from setup program is 
enabled on Network window on page 60.
•When you set up Network Camera in [Type 3], connect 
temporarily Network Camera in [Type 1], [Type 2] or [Type 4].
•Antivirus software on the PC may interfere with the setup 
program. Disable the firewall of the antivirus software only 
when setting up Network Camera.

•IP address and Subnet Mask of the PC and the Network 
Camera must be in the same class of the private IP address on 
the LAN. Refer to page 25.
•The network congestion prevents Top Page from appearing 
quickly. Wait for a while.
•A proxy server may prevent you from connecting directly to 
Network Camera, set up not to use the proxy server. Refer to 
page 26 for details.
•When Top Page does not appear, port number 80 might not be 
available. Ask your ISP for the available port number.
•When you use DDNS, you need to set Default Gateway and 
DNS server address. Refer to page 60 for Network window.
•When the connection type of the connected Ethernet hub or 
Ethernet jack of the PC is manually set at Full Duplex, set the 
connection type of Network Camera manually at Full Duplex. 
Connection may not be realized depending on the combination 
of transmission speed (10M/100M) of ports and connection 
type (Full Duplex/Half Duplex). Follow the table below on the 
combination of transmission speed of ports and connection 
type.
•If Top Page does not appear in the above procedure, press the
