Setting the Administrator Password, LAN, IPv6, DNS, etc. (Network)

D

etailed Settings

 

(1) [IPv6] 

Select [Disable] or [Enable] regarding the use of IPv6. 

(2) [IPv6 Address]

If [Enable] is selected for IPv6, an automatically acquired address will be shown. 

z For [IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Default Gateway Address], contact your network 

administrator. 

z If any of the [IP Address], [Subnet Mask] and [Default Gateway Address] settings is wrong, 

network access may be disabled. In this case, use VB Initial Setting Tool Ver. 5.0.1 to set 

the address again. See "Perform Initial Setting of the Camera" (

 Start Guide).

z If the [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], [Default Gateway Address], [LAN Interface] or 

[Maximum Packet Size] setting is changed, the camera may become no longer accessible 

from the active browser. Check beforehand the precautions explained in "Notes" in "Setting 

 P. 1-46). Also check the precautions in the 

same section before changing each setting in "IPv6" (

 P. 1-9) and "DNS" ( P. 1-10). 

z If [Auto (DHCP)] is selected as the address setting mode, the IP address may not be 

assigned correctly in certain environments, such as when a router is present between the 

DHCP server and this camera. In this case, assign a fixed IP address by selecting 

[Manual]. 

z If you are using IPv6, set 1280 or greater value under [Maximum Packet Size]. 

z If optical fiber or ADSL is used, slightly decreasing the maximum packet size may increase 

the sending efficiency. 

z The IP address assigned by [Auto (DHCP)] can be checked using the VB Initial Setting 

Tool. 

In an environment where IPv6 cannot be used, the [IPv6 Address] field remains blank even 

when [Used] is selected for IPv6.
