To Access the Camera in IPv6

You need to prepare the followings to access the camera in IPv6.

Operating Instructions

PC Requirements

Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later

Web Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later

An IPv6 Router

An IPv6 Connection Service

To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over

IPv4 Tunneling" service. The camera does not work in IPv6-only network.

IPv6 Domain Name Service

In Windows XP, you cannot access the camera entering IP address on the web browser. You need to enter IPv6 URL registered in the domain name service. We recommend Viewnetcam.com service (see page 29 of the Installation/

Troubleshooting) as a domain name service. Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name service.

What is IPv6?

• IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6".

• IPv6 was created to address 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 you wish to visit http://www.ipv6.org/.

SSID

Description

• 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.

3.7.1

Cleaning the Main Unit

If the lens cover has the sand or the dust, image quality may decrease. After taking away the sand or the dust on it, wipe it with a dry cloth.

Notes

• Do not use alcohol, polishing powder, cleanser, benzine, thinner, wax, petroleum products or hot water to wipe the camera. Also avoid glass cleaner, pesticide or hair spray. They may cause change in the shape or color.

• Do not directly touch the lens cover. Your fingerprints can cause the image to be out of focus.

• Do not directly pour the water with a hose to wash the unit or the lens cover.
