Wireless Interface
- Connection Mode: Use this option to determine the type of
wireless communication for the camera. The available
settings are Infrastructure mode and Adhoc mode.
- ESSID: The ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) is a unique
identifier shared among all points in a wireless network
environment.
The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String),
and this default setting will allow the camera to connect to
ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.
To connect the camera to a specific access point on the
network, please make sure to set the ESSID of the camera to
correspond with the access point’s ESSID for communication.
Enter a name in the Network Name box (a maximum of 32
characters including spaces and symbols, the punctuation are
not allowed).
To connect the camera to an Adhoc wireless workgroup,
please make sure to set the same wireless channel and ESSID
to match with the computer’s settings for direct wireless
communication under the Adhoc wireless workgroup.
- Wireless Channel: The pull-down menu provides the
wireless channel for communication. A “channel” is a range
of frequencies to be used in communication between the
camera and access point (Infrastructure mode) or the camera
and computer (Adhoc mode). Select the appropriate channel
from the list provided depending on the regulatory region
where the unit is sold.
- WEP Encryption: Wireless network communications can be
intercepted easily. Enable this option will help you protect
your wireless network.
