1.4.1 To Access the Camera in IPv6
You need to prepare the following to access the camera in IPv6.
• 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 function on IPv6-only networks.
IPv6 Domain Name Service
In Windows XP, you cannot access the camera by entering its IP address in the
web browser. Enter the IPv6 URL that was registered using the domain name
service. We recommend the Viewnetcam.com service (see page 70) as a domain
name service. Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name services.
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!

Setting up the IPv6 Router, your PC, and the Camera
Setting up the IPv6 Router
Set up the router as you subscribe to the IPv6 service. If access from the WAN side
is disabled on the router, enable the TCP packets from the WAN side using packet
filtering. See the Panasonic Network Camera support website at http://
panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/ for information about the
recommended routers.
