standard (IEEE802.3at compliant)*5.
<NOTE>
• When using a PoE+ device that requires software authentication,
it may take a few minutes after power supply starts before the unit
is operational.
• If the AC adaptor and a PoE+ power supply are connected
simultaneously, the AC adaptor will have priority. If the AC adaptor
is disconnected while both power supplies are connected, the unit
will restart automatically, and the image will be interrupted.
• Use a Category 5e cable or higher when using a PoE+ power
supply. The maximum length of the cable between the power
supply unit and the unit is 100 meters (328 ft). Using a cable that
is lower than Category 5 may result in reduced power supply
capabilities.
• When a PoE+ injector is connected to a personal computer that
supports Gigabit Ethernet using a straight LAN cable, the personal
computer may not recognize the injector in rare cases. In such
cases, connect the personal computer to the unit using a cross
LAN cable (or via cross connection).
*4Power over Ethernet Plus. Referred to as "PoE+" in this
manual.
*5For details on PoE+ power supply devices for which operation
has been verified, consult your local dealer.

 Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under the
proper lighting conditions.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shooting
under fluorescent lights. Select the proper lighting as required.
 To ensure a stable performance in the long
term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to
deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C (95 °F))
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air
directly toward the installation location.
 Do not point the camera at
strong lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.
Bright subject
Blooming
 What happens with high‑brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at
the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some other
remedial action.
 When using the automatic functions
• The initial settings have been set to auto for some of the items
of the scenes on the camera menus and other menus, making it
impossible for these items to be operated manually. To operate
them manually, switch from the auto settings to the manual
settings as required.
• When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment) function

Setting the remote control IDs
The wireless remote control (optional accessory) is capable of operating
up to four units.
IDs are used to set which units are selected when the <CAM1>,
<CAM2>, <CAM3> and <CAM4> buttons on the wireless remote control
have been pressed.
• When operating a multiple number of these units using wireless
remote controls, set a different remote control ID for each control.
• When using one unit, set the remote control ID to “CAM1” unless the
setting needs to be changed.
 Setting procedure
Operate the IR ID switches on the unit's rear panel, and select “CAM1”,
“CAM2”, “CAM3” or “CAM4” as the remote control ID. (→ page 15)
The IR ID switch settings “CAM1” to “CAM4” correspond to the <CAM1>
to <CAM4> buttons on the wireless remote control.
(The factory setting is “CAM1”.)

Network settings
Use the Easy IP Setup Software to establish the
unit’s settings
The settings related to the unit’s network can be established using the
Easy IP Setup Software.
You can obtain Easy IP Setup Software (EasyIPSetup.exe) by
downloading it from the following website.
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/
To establish the settings for a multiple number of units, the settings must
be selected for each camera involved.
If the settings cannot be established using the Easy IP Setup Software,
select the settings separately for the unit and personal computer on the
Network setup screen [Network] of the setting menu. (→ page 86)
<NOTE>
• If, after the network settings have been established, another device in
the same network has the same IP address, the network operations
will not be performed properly.
Set the IP address in such a way that it does not duplicate an existing
IP address.
• Do not establish network settings from a multiple number of Easy IP
Setup Software programs at the same time for a single camera.
Similarly, do not perform the “Auto IP setting” operation of the
AW-RP50 remote camera controller at the same time.
The IP address settings may no longer be recognized as a result.
• The Easy IP Setup Software cannot be used from a different subnet
via a router.
• Use Easy IP Setup Software ver. 4.25R00 or newer.
1. Start the Easy IP Setup Software.
2. Click the [Search] button.
3. Click the MAC address/IPv4 address of the camera to be
set, and click the [Network Settings] button.
<NOTE>
• When a DHCP server is being used, the IP address allocated to the
unit can be checked by clicking the [Search] button of the Easy IP
Setup Software.
• If the same IP address is used for any additional cameras, the
numbers of the additional cameras will be displayed in the [IPv4
overlap] column of the cameras concerned.
• When the [Access Camera] button is clicked, the Live screen of the
selected camera is displayed.
• This unit does not support an IPv4/IPv6 switching function.
4. Input the network items, and click the [Save] button.
<NOTE>
• When a DHCP server is being used, [DNS] of the Easy IP Setup
Software can be set to [Auto].
• After the [Save] button is clicked, it takes about 2 minutes for the
settings in the unit to be completed. If the AC adaptor or LAN cable is
disconnected before the settings are completed, the settings will be
canceled. In this case, repeat the steps to establish the settings.
• When a firewall (including software) has been introduced, enable
access to all the UDP ports.
