Operating Instructions
1.2.1 To Access this Product in IPv6
You need to prepare the followings to access this product in IPv6.
• PC Requirements
Operating System: Windows XP Service Pack 1 or later
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 or later
• An IPv6 Router
• An IPv6 Connection Service
To connect in IPv6, subscribe to the ISP's "IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack" or "IPv6 over
IPv4 Tunneling" service. This product does not work in IPv6-only network.
IPv6 Domain Name Service
In Windows XP, you cannot access this product entering IP address on the web
browser. You need to enter IPv6 URL registered in the domain name service. We
recommend Viewnetcam.com service (see page 58) as a domain name service.
Ask your ISP about other IPv6 domain name service.
What is IPv6?
• IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6".
• IPv6 was created to address the additional IP addresses that will be
needed as the Internet continues to expand.
• IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the 2 coexisting for a
number of years during a transition period.
• Though most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) do not yet support IPv6,
many local networks already use it. When your ISP supports IPv6, this
product will be ready!
