number of years during a transition period.
 Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6, 
many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, your 
Panasonic will be ready!
 For more information you wish to visit http://www.ipv6.org/.
Panasonic Servicenters are listed in the servicenter directory.
Call 1-800-272-7033 for the location of an authorized servicenter.
This Network Camera Server is designed for use in the United States of 
America. Sale or use of this product in other countries/areas may violate
