3.1.6 Registering a Camera Automatically
After connecting this product to a Panasonic Network Camera (Customer-provided), turning the 
camera on, and returning the settings to factory default, the cameras network setup (IP address and 
subnet mask etc.) and wireless security setup are performed automatically. After the camera is turned 
on, this product and the camera exchange information and automatically set up the network. Then, the 
camera image is registered on the Camera Portal.

Changing the Setup of Automatically Registered Cameras
Notes
 With cameras that have the option of enabling images to be accessed from the Internet, 
follow the setup guidelines specified in the cameras Operating Instructions.
 The port number and IP address of automatically registered cameras cannot be modified.
 If you click Confirm, the camera image will appear.
 It may not be possible to open an automatically registered IPv6 camera from the WAN side 
using the Camera Portal, when using Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. It should be possible to 
open it using a browser where you can specify an IPv6 address directly into the URL (e.g. 
Mozilla 1.7.1 or later). However, using a browser other than Internet Explorer 6.0 or later is 
not under warranty. See page 
19 when making camera images accessible from the Internet.

Notes
 When registering an additional camera, modify the settings on the camera side too. For 
details, see the cameras Operating Instructions.
 When registering an additional camera, it is necessary to set port forwarding and/or packet 
filtering. Set them manually, referring to pages 
58, 66, and 71. Also, when using this product 
under a UPnP™ router, even if the settings for top level routing and address translation are 
set to Disable, it is necessary to set routing for the other connecting area routers.
 When registering an additional camera, it is necessary to set screen assignment. Set it 
manually, referring to page 
46.
 Neither the DHCP servers Available Address Range specified in LAN IP Address DHCP 
Server in Options, or the Available Address Range specified in PPTP Server Settings found 
on the Basic Page of VPN should be set as the IP address range used in the Cameras 
Automatic Setup.
 It is possible to set the selected camera portal frame to enable it to be accessed from the 
WAN side, but when registering an additional camera manually, further settings such as 
filtering (see page 
66) or address translation (see page 58) must be performed on this 
product. When a camera is automatically registered, filtering settings and address 
translation are performed automatically.
 When manually registering a WAN side camera, it is not possible to view the camera images 
by clicking Confirm when the camera is Temporarily Saved. Click Confirm after restarting to 
view the camera images.
 When setting IPsec, Enable IPsec on the VPN(IPsec) page.
 When camera images cannot be viewed by clicking Confirm after adding an IPv6 camera, 
it should be possible to view them using a browser where you can specify an IPv6 address 
directly into the URL (e.g. Mozilla 1.7.1 or later). However, using a browser other than 
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later is not under warranty.

3.1.7 Using Wireless
The wireless setup page allows you to perform settings to connect to wireless LAN and also perform 
security settings. The wireless LAN uses radio waves in the same way as a TV or transceiver does, 
selects a data channel, and sends/receives data.
The three data sending modes, 802.11b, 802.11b/g, and 802.11g only, each have differing bands 
and speeds. The default is all 802.11b/g. Also, it is possible to connect 2 or more wireless devices, 
by naming (SSID) a network and using the same SSID and data channels for all of them. Set the same 
SSID and data channel
* for all devices on the wireless LAN network.
*It is possible for wireless devices connected to this product with the same SSID to send/receive 
data by searching the data channel automatically.
Note
The default is set as the device-specific SSID and the 13 character 128 bit encryption key. The default 
SSID and the 13 character 128 bit encryption key are displayed on the rear of this product.
SSID : Panasonic
SSID : EARTH
Data Channel:7SSID : Panasonic

Notes
 Setting the stealth SSID function to Disable weakens the security.
 Some data channels may be limited by the wireless LAN card used on the wireless terminal 
side. Check the range of data channels available on the wireless LAN card, and set the data 
channels on this product accordingly.
 When modifying the SSID of this product after a wireless camera etc. has been registered 
automatically, it is necessary to match the wireless cameras settings.
1.Click [Wireless] on the setup page.
2.Enter the SSID into the data entry field, and 
select 
a Channel.
 See page 49 for information about the 
Stealth SSID.
 To return to the original settings, click 
[Cancel].
 Enter the same SSID into wireless devices 
connected to this product.
 The default SSID is displayed on the rear of 
this product.
 Regarding each of the data entry fields, see 
page 49.
3.When setup is complete, click [Save].
 The entered information is saved.

Data Entry Field
Wireless 
Network ModeSelect a wireless network mode from Disable, 802.11b, 802.11b/g or 
802.11g only.
 Select Disable when you do not want to send/receive wireless data.
 802.11b sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. Compatible products 
are abundant and low priced. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also 
already widespread so it is useful when you want to use your other 
wireless devices.
 802.11b/g sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. It combines the 
features of 802.11b and 802.11g, and is compatible with both 
wireless LAN specifications. It is also easy to introduce into existing 
wireless environments.
 802.11g only can only send/receive data to and from the 802.11g. If 
this products data sending/receiving mode is set to 802.11g only, it  
does not support 802.11b/g integration mode, but the original 
802.11gs capabilities are realized. It is faster and reaches further than 
802.11b/g, so is good to use when sending/receiving data between 
floors.
 When using 802.11g only, if other 2.4.GHz band wireless devices 
(including the 802.11b wireless device) exist, the data speed is 
reduced.
SSIDA name is given to the network on a wireless LAN. This name is called 
SSID.
The SSID can be set on each device connected to the wireless LAN, and 
data can only be sent/received to and from devices with the same SSID. 
Enter the SSID following the guidelines below. (The device-specific SSID is 
already entered in the default settings. It is displayed on the rear of this 
product.)
 It is case-sensitive. (e.g. ABC and abc are recognized as 2 different 
names.)
 Enter no more than 32 characters.
Stealth SSIDFor the wireless LAN device to detect the network, there is a function 
whereby the SSID, which is a network identifier, is sent out to surrounding 
devices at regular time intervals. If Disable is selected, the wireless LAN 
device can detect the network easily. However, unauthorized users can also 
find the network and try to connect to it, so there a possible security 
weakness. By selecting Enable on the stealth SSID function, it is possible to 
use this product to make the network hard to detect for unauthorized users. 
When Enable is set, connection through the ANY key can be denied. The 
default is set to Enable.

Notes
 It is necessary to set the same SSID for the wireless device side and this product.
 If necessary, set Encryption and MAC Address Filtering. To encrypt the sending/receiving data, 
click Encryption on the Wireless Setup page. (see below) To stop unregistered wireless devices 
from connecting to this product, click MAC Address Filtering. (see page 
54)
Encryption
This function allows you to encrypt sending/receiving data within the wireless LAN. By encrypting the 
data, even if the data was intercepted by an unauthorized user, it would be illegible. Encryption is 
performed using the same encryption key for all the registered devices on the wireless LAN.
Always set encryption. If you send unencrypted data, there is a chance that it might be read by a third 
party or your PC may be invaded etc.
The type of authentication in encryption is not only Shared Key, but also Open System. Authentication 
conversion is done automatically by this product to match the device.
ChannelSets the channel to receive/send data within the network. Select a channel 
between 1 and 11. (The default for 802.11b/g is 7.) When there are multiple 
wireless LANs, and the channel numbers overlap in the figure below (for 
example, Channel 1 and Channel 4), data speed may be reduced. In that 
case select a different data channel.
