Configuring Port Forwarding

In order to access your camera from the Internet, you will need to configure your router for port forwarding. If

your router supports UPnP™ (Universal Plug and Play), the camera and router can communicate with each

other and set port forwarding automatically. This can be done during initial configuration (as explained in the

Setup Guide), or by following one of the procedures below.

There are two methods you can use to configure port forwarding via UPnP™.

–

Using the [Internet] tab (recommended)

Using this method, the camera’s current port number may change. The camera will be assigned a port

number that is not currently used by another device on the network. If port 80 is unavailable, the camera

will be assigned the first available port number between 50000 and 50050.

To use this method, see Page 71.

–

Using the [UPnP] page

Using this method, the camera’s port number will not change.

To use this method, see Page 72.

Note

•

If your router does not support UPnP™, you need to configure the router’s port forwarding feature

manually. See Page 73.

•

If your router’s UPnP™ feature is turned off (most routers have UPnP™ turned off by default), you

need to turn it on in order to configure port forwarding automatically. Refer to the operating instructions

included with your router and the Panasonic Network Camera website (http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/

products/en/netwkcam/) for more information.

•

If you have a PPPoE or PPTP connection to your Internet Service Provider, disable your router’s

maximum idle time setting. Refer to the operating instructions included with your router for more

information.

•

UPnP™ features are available when using the camera in IPv4. The camera does not support UPnP™

for IPv6 connections.
