1 Product Introduction

1.1Main Features

This product is a Camera Control Unit with the following features:

Wireless network device with an expanded range due to the repeater function (relay function)

By using Panasonic's Wireless LAN Adaptor (BB-HGA102) to connect this product and a wireless network device, radio waves can be relayed to far and hard to reach places.

Data such as camera images can be sent safely using VPN

Security is ensured by encrypting all camera and PC data connected to this product before it is sent.

High speed wireless LAN for IEEE 802.11b/g (conversion)

It is possible to convert between 2.4 GHz 54 Mbps* (IEEE 802.11g) and 2.4 GHz 11 Mbps* (IEEE 802.11b). 802.11g has 2 modes: 1. the 802.11g only mode, and 2. the 802.11g and 802.11b simultaneous mode. Also, the wireless LAN function can be suspended.

*The numbers displayed are a theoretical maximum for the standard wireless LAN, and not necessarily the speed when data is actually sent.

High speed throughput

FTTH can also be used, with maximum WAN - LAN wired connection speeds of 93.0 Mbps (FTP[Static]), 92.1 Mbps (FTP[PPPoE]), and 16.3 Mbps (FTP[PPTP]).

Automatic wireless setup (with security settings)

Panasonic's Wireless LAN Adaptor (BB-HGA102) (Customer-provided) is set up automatically. Wireless security settings are set up at the same time, so that wireless LAN can be used safely.

Automatic camera registration (with security settings)

By using this product with Panasonic's network camera (Customer-provided), the camera's automatic registration function can automatically set up wireless security (encryption WEP setup etc) and camera network related settings (port forwarding setup etc)
