Note
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 ("Perform Initial
Setting of the Camera" in Start Guide) to set the address again.
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
the Items Requiring Rebooting (Reboot Item)" ( P. 1-49). 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].
Tip
z If you are using optical fiber or ADSL, you may be able to improve the sending efficiency by
slightly reducing the maximum packet size.
z You can use the VB Initial Setting Tool to check the IP address assigned by [Auto (DHCP)].
