*1 What is IPv6?
• IPv6 is short for “Internet Protocol Version 6”.
• IPv6 was created to provide the additional IP addresses that will be
needed as the Internet continues to expand.
• IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a
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 Network Camera will be ready!
• For more information, visit http://www.ipv6.org/.
