6.7 Wireless Configuration (for wireless cameras only)
This screen is used to configure wireless settings to match your access point for a wireless
network connection.
6.7.1 Wireless Setup
1. Select the operation mode to determine the type of wireless communication for the Pro
Series Wireless Network Camera: Infrastructure or Ad hoc. The default setting is
Infrastructure.
2. Set the service area name (SSID) in accordance with the access point settings to which
the camera should connect.
3. The channel is set to a default. In the infrastructure mode, the camera will automatically
find the access point. The channel only needs to be set in Ad-hoc mode.
4. The default setting for the "Tx rate" is Auto; however, it can be set up to 54 Mbps in
802.11g mode and up to 11 Mbps in 802.11b mode.
5. The preamble mode should be set to Auto, but in some cases you may want to set it to
either long or short, depending on your setup.
6. The camera supports three different wireless modes:
- 11b/g Mixed (camera connects to any 11 or 54 Mbps wireless access point)
- 11b only (camera connects only to 11 Mbps wireless access points)
- 11g only (camera connects only to 54 Mbps wireless access points)
6.7.2 Wireless Security Settings
WEP
Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (wired equivalent privacy) is an
encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted
communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties.
The WEP key needs to be entered in HEX code. To set up 64-bit WEP, input 10 HEX characters,
for example 0123456789. To set up 128-bit WEP input 26 HEX characters, for example
01234567890123456789012345.
