of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will not appear unless the camera is associated with it. The following information is provided:

¾Interface Select: “Wired (Ethernet) only” or “Auto – wired if cable is connected, otherwise

wireless”: Choose wired or wireless mode. However, note that wired is priority.

¾Type: To select one of WLAN modes from Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode.

¾SSID: This is the name of the wireless network the camera is configured for. The field accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The name must be exactly the same as that used in the wireless access point, or the connection will not be established. Leaving this field blank means the camera will attempt to access the nearest open network.

¾Channel: Chooses the wireless channel in use currently.

¾Security mode: Shows which type of security the network uses. The camera supports three

security methods: None, WEP, WPA_PSK/WPA2_PSK.

WEP settings:

-Authentication: Select “Open or Shared Key System Authentication”, depending on the method used by your access point. Not all access points have this option, in which case they probably use “Open System”, which is sometimes known as SSID Authentication.

-WEP Mode: The access point being used determines which key type is available. The following options are available:

•ASCII - In this method the string must be exactly 5 characters for 64-bit WEP and 13 characters for 128-bit WEP.

•HEX - In this method the string must be exactly 10 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters for 64-bit WEP and 26 hexadecimal characters for 128-bit WEP.

- Web Key 1~4: Key value of WEP.

WPA settings:

-WPA Key: Key value of WPA. The camera uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for key management. The pre-shared key can be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal characters, or as a Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.

¾Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP): Enable this checkbox when a DHCP server is installed on the network to issue IP address assignment. With this setting, the IP address is assigned automatically.

¾IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway: If you do not select Obtain an IP address automatically, then you need to enter these network parameters manually.

Select OK to save and enable the setting.

)Note:

To enable WLAN function, the user must set these related parameters correctly at first. Then power off the camera and remove Ethernet cable from camera. Power on the camera again and WLAN mode will be available accordingly.
