The Internet
This section explains how you can use the Internet and how the Internet works.
What is the Internet?
When a computer is connected to other computers, this is called a computer
network. There are many such networks all over the world. These networks can
be connected to each other by telephone line. The world’s largest computer
network connected in this way is the Internet.
Network
Using the Internet with This Camera
● Obtaining Information from a Web Page
Numerous organizations, companies,
individuals, etc. make a wide variety of
information available on a Web page on the
Internet. The Web page contains not only
text information, but images, sound and
motion pictures. By accessing the Internet,
you can view this information at will. With this
camera you can view only the text and image
information.
14
• The Internet uses an information system called WWW (World Wide
Note
Web) or simply Web. Web information is supplied in the form of pages
and the homepage serves as the gateway to the Web pages.
● Communicating by E-Mail
E-mail (electronic mail) is the system of exchanging messages (mail) using the
Internet. Anyone who has access to the Internet can send and receive
messages at will. The system has the major advantage of being able to deliver
messages instantly to people living far away, regardless of distance. Basically it
is text information that is exchanged, but images can also be attached.
How the Internet Works
This section provides a simple explanation of how the Web page works and
how to send and receive e-mail.
● Web Page
If you request to see a Web page, the request is delivered to the server storing
the Web page in question via the Internet. The server supplies the Web page in
response to the request.

the Web page)

● E-Mail
Sending : When a message is uploaded, it is sent first to the outgoing mail
server, and from there via the Internet to the receiver’s incoming
mail server. Each person has their own mail box in their incoming
mail server and the message is stored in the appropriate box.
Receiving : The receiver can get the message from the mail box by going to
their incoming mail server.

Requirements for Accessing the Internet
To access the Internet, you need the following items in addition to your camera.
The software needed for viewing a Web page or sending e-mail is already
loaded in the camera.
● Communication Card
By inserting a communication card in the camera, you can use the
communication and Internet functions. Details are given in Chapter 3. → P.55
“Connecting Communication Equipment”
● Telephone and Telephone line
Depending on the environment, you need a telephone line, mobile phone, etc.
Details are given in Chapter 3. → P.55 “Connecting Communication
Equipment”
● Information Supplied by the Provider
This information includes a telephone number, account name (name of the
contractor), password, etc for accessing the Internet.
16
Provider
● Making a Contract with a Provider
The provider is the company which provides the service of connecting you to
the Internet. Individual access to the Internet requires a contract with a
provider. When you make such a contract, you will be supplied with the
necessary information for accessing the Internet.
• If your company already has an Internet environment, you do not need
Note
to make a contract with a provider. In this case, the necessary
information can be obtained from the system administrator .
● Access Point
The contractor telephones the access point supplied by the provider and is
connected to the Internet via this point.

Dial-Up Function
The dial-up IP connection is used to make a connection to the Internet only
when necessary. Normally, it is for accessing the Internet using the RDC-i700.
To make the dial-up IP connection, the access point (dial-up destination) and
other information must have already been set. → P.24 “Setting a Dial-Up

■ Items for Dial-Up Setting
(Quick Send, E-Mail, Web, FTP Upload)
The following 10 items need to be set.
The setting procedure is explained later. → P.29 ~
● Dial-Up Name
This is the name of the connection. You can input simple names at will. In

xxx-xxx-xxxx)
• It is recommended if you often travel on business, prepare a dial-up
Note
setting for each destination.
• If you use a digital mobile phone, depending on the combination of
phone type and provider, you may have to use PTE (protocol transfer
equipment). For information concerning PTE and instructions on
setting the telephone number, see the instruction manual attached to
the communication card.
● Dial Type
If you are using an ordinary telephone line, choose the type of line. Select the
for either TONE or PULSE. The factory default setting is TONE. If you are
using an ISDN or mobile phone, leave the setting on TONE.
24
• TONE : Short beeps are heard when dialing
• PULSE : Long beeps are heard when dialing
• If the type of telephone line is not correctly set, no connection will be
Note
made. If you do not know which type of telephone line you use,
contact the telephone company.
● External Call
When making an external call from an internal phone of the office, input
numbers from 0 to 9 to set the external call number. When the external call
number is set, it is added in front of the telephone number and dialed before the
telephone number. If you do not need an external call number, leave blank.
● PPP Account
This is the account name (the name of the contractor) for accessing the
Internet. It is also called User name, User ID, etc. (Example: testname)
● PPP Password
This is the password for accessing the Internet. Input the password in
characters. (Example: 1234ABCD)
Important
• Take note of the following when entering the account and password.
Note
* the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters
* the difference between the number “0” (zero) and the alphabet letter
“O”

Tips
PPP
Normally when you access the Internet, a public network is used for
dial-up IP connection. The protocol used at this time is PPP (Point-toPoint Protocol). The account used for the connection is therefore
often called the PPP account.
IP Address and Domain Name
Many computers are connected to the Internet. The IP address is
used to identify each individual computer and is expressed in the
form of [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (xxx = numbers from 0 to 255). The domain
name is usually alphabetical as we see in the Web address
(Example: testnet.com).
Name Server
Also called DNS (Domaim Name System) server. This server
converts the alphabetized domain name to and from the IP address in
numerical expression.
This server converts the domain name specified by this camera to the
IP address and searches the target server on the Internet.
