been installed successfully and Java (Sun) is enabled.

To check the Java version

Select Tools from the menu bar of Internet Explorer,

then select Internet Options and click the Advanced

mode tab. Check whether the version of Java displayed

for Java (Sun) is one of the versions specified below. If

Java (Sun) is not displayed, it means that Java is not

installed. You need to install Java.

Java Plug-in Ver. 1.5.0_04, Ver. 1.5.0_05

To enable Java Plug-in

Check “Use Java 2 v1.5.0_xx for <applet> (requires

restart)” in “Java (Sun)”.

To install Java Plug-in

Download Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard

Edition (JRE) from the website of Sun Microsystems,

Inc., and install it by following the instructions on the

the camera image may not be displayed. In that case,

disable Automatic configuration and set the Proxy

server manually. For the setting of the Proxy server,

consult your network administrator.

• When you install ActiveX viewer on Windows 2000

or Windows XP, you should be logged in to the

computer as the Administrator.

• The phrase"SNT-V501 Image Viewer"appears in the

text of the "Security warning." This is because this

unit uses the same viewer as that of the model SNT-

V501, and does not cause any problem in practical

use.
