2ConnectionsConnect the camera to your router and to the power outlet as described below.• Before proceeding, confirm that your PC is connected to your router and can access the Internet. Also confirm that your router’s UPnP ™ feature isenabled. (Most routers have UPnP™ turned off by default.) Refer to the operating instructions included with your router or to the Panasonic NetworkCamera website (http://panasonic.net/pcc/ipcam/) for more information.The camera’s external I/O interface allows you to connect a device, such as a sensor or motion detector, that can be used to trigger the camera’s imagebuffering and transferring features (see Section 2 Using Triggers to Buffer and Transfer Images in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM), as well asthe detection notification sound feature (see Section 1.2.11 Additional Features Available While Viewing Live Camera Images in the Operating Instructionson the CD-ROM).1 Confirm that the WIRELESS/WIRED switch on the bottom ofthe camera is set to WIRED.2 Connect the LAN cable to the camera and the router.3 Connect the AC adaptor cord to the DC IN jack.4 Plug the AC adaptor into the power outlet.• Confirm that the indicator turns green after about 1minute. If it does not turn green, see 1.2 POWERIndicator Issues in the Troubleshooting Guide on the CD-ROM.• When you operate the camera, the power outlet should benear the camera and easily accessible.• Use only specified Panasonic AC adaptor (Order No.PQLV206Y for BL-C230A, PQLV206CEY forBL-C230CE, and PQLV206EY for BL-C230E).• The camera may become warm. This is normal.After the camera’s indicator turns green, you may set up the camera. Continue by following the procedure describedin the included Setup Guide.• If the indicator does not turn green, see 1.2 POWER Indicator Issues in the Troubleshooting Guide on the included CD-ROM.Connecting External I/O interfaceCaution• The external I/O interface is not capable of connecting directly todevices that require large amounts of current. In some cases, acustom interface circuit (customer-provided) may have to be used.Serious damage to the camera may result if a device that exceedsits electrical capability is connected to the external I/O interface.• Low voltage/current circuits and high voltage/current circuits areused in the camera circuit. All wiring should be performed by aqualified electrician. Incorrect wiring could damage the camera andcause a fatal electric shock.Terminal DescriptionIN1 1 External sensor input. The camera can be triggered by either an opencircuit or a GND short-circuit.2 GND terminal.IN2 3 External sensor input. The camera can be triggered by either an opencircuit or a GND short-circuit.4 GND terminal.OUT5External device control output. Allows you to control an external deviceusing the output buttons in the camera’s operation bar (for example,turning a light on or off).• This terminal’s behavior can be changed (see 7.4 Controlling theExternal Output Terminal (BL-C230 Only) in the Operating Instructionson the CD-ROM).• This terminal is an open collector circuit. The maximum drawingcurrent is the same as terminal 6. Do not exceed the voltage ofterminal 6.6DC power output terminal.• DC 8 V–10 V• Maximum load is 100 mA.Note• If excessive force is used when disconnecting wires with pointed objects fromthe external I/O interface, terminals may become damaged or the interface maybe pushed inside the camera body and become unusable.• External devices connected to the camera’s output terminals cannotbe controlled in the event of a network error or failure. Keep this inmind when connecting door locks, heat-emitting devices, or otherdevices that may be dangerous if they cannot be controlled.WAN4 3 2 1LANWIRELESS/WIRED switchRouterInternet ModemPCLAN cable(Cat-5 straight cable)AC adaptorTo thepoweroutletVIERA(BL-C230A only)GreenExternal I/O interfaceLightDoor Sensor 1 (Alarm 1)Door Sensor 2 (Alarm 2)RelayCamera*DC 8 V–10 VCircuit Diagram Example9 V*621435
