    Notes on Use with Internet Explorer 9 or 
    Greater and Windows Server 2008/
    Windows Server 2012
    „Registering the Top Page of the Camera as a 
    Trusted Site
    In Internet Explorer 9 or greater and Windows Server 2008/
    Windows Server 2012, the security level for Internet sites and 
    intranet sites on Internet Explorer is set to [High] by default. 
    Thus, when accessing the Admin Viewer/VB Viewer, the 
    cameras Setting Page or the Admin Tools, a content block 
    dialog box appears and the page fails to display correctly. 
    To correct this problem, follow the procedure below to 
    register the top page as a trusted site. 
    The following dialog box appears. 
    The [Trusted sites] dialog box appears. Note that even when the content block dialog box does 
    not appear, JavaScript is sometimes disabled under the 
    standard security settings, which may limit operations on 
    the setting page and the Admin Viewer/VB Viewer. 
    Register the page as a trusted site as this automatically 
    enables JavaScript settings. 
    If the content block dialog box does not appear, follow the 
    procedure below to display the [Trusted Sites] dialog box. 
    The [Trusted sites] dialog box appears. 
    This completes the trusted site registration process. 
    7When the installation complete screen appears, click 
    [Exit] or [Reboot].
    1Access the Admin Viewer/VB Viewer and the Setting 
    Page from the top page of the camera with Internet

    network. 
    To launch the VB Initial Setting Tool, double-click the 
    [VB Initial Setting Tool] icon on the desktop.
    The VB Initial Setting Tool will automatically detect the 
    camera connected to the network and display the

    Setting Tool detection will be disabled. In such cases, turn 
    the camera off and on again.
     There may be cautionary information, depending on your 
    operating environment. Read “Notes on Operating

    Important
    To obtain an IP address from a DHCP server or set IPv6, first 
    use the VB Initial Setting Tool to temporarily configure an IPv4 
    static address that can communicate with the computer. Then, 
    in [Network] on the setting page, change [IPv4 Address Setting 
    Method] to [Auto (DHCP)] in the [IPv4] area (p. 37), or 
    configure an IPv6 address.
