AJ-WM30
Preparing to connect computers, iPad/iPod Touch/iPhone to the P2 cam.
Attach the wireless module
(AJ-WM30G)
1Remove 2 screws from the P2 Cam (Part number: AJ-
HPX3100G) main body, and remove the cover by sliding
it backward of the P2 Cam.
2Attach the wireless module (Part number: AJ-WM30) to
the USB port.
Enable the wireless LAN function
When connecting the P2 cam with a computer after purchase,
enable the function by importing the 30 digit activation code
into the P2 cam main unit.
The activation code can be obtained by accessing the site
where activation codes are issued, and authenticate the
device information exported from the P2 cam and the key
code bundled with the product following the displayed
procedure.
The procedure requires an SD memory card (formatted with
the P2 cam), a computer equipped with an SD memory card
slot, and an Internet connection environment.
1Export the device information of the P2 cam to the
SD memory card
Start the P2 cam, insert the SD memory card and press
the THUMBNAIL button, when you select [ACTIVATE][EXPORT PRODUCT SERIAL #] - [YES], the folder,
private/meigroup/pavcn/sbg/p2sd/actv/ is created inside
the SD memory card, and the P2 cam device information
is saved in the file, SERIAL.LST.
3Replace the cover removed in 1, and fasten the 2
screws.
<Note>
When using wireless LAN, make sure the cover removed in
the foregoing task is firmly fastened.
Close the dialog display by pressing the [SET] button.
When the [ACTIVATE] menu does not appear, it is
necessary to update the firmware version in the
AJHPX3100G.
See the latest information about firmware on the P2
support page on the following website.
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/
Perform the update after seeing “Updating the
Firmware incorporated into the unit” (page 199) in the
AJ-HPX3100G Operating Instructions for how to
update the firmware.

Device information for a maximum of 100 devices can
be stored in one SD memory card by repeating the
operations in step 1 for P2 cams that you want to
issue the activation code for. The site that issues the
activation code can read all device information for
multiple devices stored on the SD memory card, and
batch issue activation codes for the multiple devices.
When an error dialog appears, check insertion of the
SD memory card, write inhibit setting, free space, etc.
It is recommended that you use an SD memory card
formatted with the P2 cam to prevent unexpected
errors.
2Remove the SD memory card from the P2 Cam.
Insert it in a computer and connect to the activation
code publication site below from a browser. Follow
the procedures described in the site to acquire the
activation code.

Glossary
TermDescription
LANAn abbreviation of Local Area Network. A network in a relatively small area, such as within a company.
INFRASTRUCTUREA mode to connect via access points.
AD HOCA mode in which computers communicate directly without going through an access point.
An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
DHCP (dynamic)
Static
IP address
MAC address
Network address
Host address
SSID
WEP
Subnet Mask
A function for assigning IP addresses automatically to connected equipment. If there is equipment with a
DHCP server function connected to the LAN, an IP address will be automatically assigned to the connected
equipment.
A connection method not using the DHCP. This is a method where the user sets up the fixed IP address.
Setup with this method if you have received a fixed value to setup from the network administrator.
An address where the data is delivered on the network.
IP (Internet Protocol) is a protocol to deliver data, and same IP address cannot be used within a network.
An ID number unique to each network adapter.
All the network adapters in the world are assigned with a unique number, and data communication between
the adapters are performed based on this.
This number is a combination of the unique number for each manufacturer managed and assigned by the
IEEE, and a number assigned by the manufacturer to each adapter.
In the bit string that constitutes the IP address, it is the address of the portion set to the binary digit “1” by the
subnet mask.
So if the IP address is [192.168.0.1] and the subnet mask is [255.255.255.0], the network address will be
[192.168.0].
In the bit string that constitutes the IP address, it is the address of the portion set to the binary digit “0” by the
subnet mask.
So if the IP address is [192.168.0.1] and the subnet mask is [255.255.255.0], the host address will be [1].
An abbreviation of Service Set ID. It is required to setup an identification code referred to as an SSID to
determine if the access point is the one you want to communicate with using the wireless LAN. It may be
displayed as [ESSID] or [Network name] on some of the wireless LAN adapters.
An abbreviation of Wired Equivalent Privacy. This is a method for encrypting the data being communicated.
By creating an encryption key that is given only to the other party involved in the communication, it
prevents decryption of data by a third party.
A network may be managed by dividing a large network into numbers of smaller networks called subnets.
The value to delimit the IP address in such a case is called a subnet mask.

Notice Regarding Security
When using this product, you may encounter the following
damages.
Leaking of customer privacy via this product
Illegal operation of this product by malicious third parties
Interference or stopping of this product by malicious third
parties
Caution regarding security when using a wireless LAN product
Wireless LAN can communicate information between computers, etc., and the wireless access point using radio waves instead
of LAN cables, which allows you to connect to the LAN anywhere as long as the radio waves can reach you.
However, radio waves can reach anywhere in their range even through obstacles (walls, etc.). Therefore, it may give rise to the
following problems if you do not perform the settings regarding security.
Interception of communication contents
Malicious third parties may intercept the radio waves, and private information such as ID, password, or credit card numbers,
etc., contents of the mail, may be intercepted.
Unauthorized invasion
Malicious third party may access a private or corporate network without authorization, and steal private information or
classified information (leakage of information), release fraud information by impersonating a specific person (spoofing),
rewrite and distribute the intercepted contents (falsification), destroy data or systems by spreading computer viruses, etc.
(destruction), etc.
The wireless adapters and wireless access points have security mechanisms to deal with these problems, so just by using these
settings when using the product will decrease the chance of these problems occurring.
Security settings may not be setup on the wireless LAN equipment at the time of purchase. To reduce the chance of security
problems occurring at the user site, make sure to setup all the settings regarding wireless LAN equipment in accordance with
the operating instructions of each item of wireless LAN equipment.
Also, please note that the security settings may be breached by special methods due to the specification of the wireless LAN.
If you cannot setup the security settings by yourself, when using the P2 Cam (Part number: AJ-HPX3100) via wireless LAN,
please contact the Service Center in your region.
It is recommended to use the product fully understanding the risk when the security setting is not setup, and to setup the security setting under judgment and responsibility of the customer.
Take appropriate security measures.
Limit the users that can log in by setting up passwords.
Use passwords that are hard to guess.
Change the password periodically.
Panasonic Corporation and its affiliate companies will not
directly inquire as to a customer’s password. Do not give
your password in answer to any such direct inquiries.
