Firewalls

If the Windows Firewall is enabled on your computer, you will be prompted to continue blocking ITP. When this dialog pops up, select the Unblock button to allow ITP to receive connections from the camera. This is necessary for proper operation of your system.

Step 9

Once the Control Centre interface comes up, enter the wireless settings that you are currently using in the blue section. Please refer to the settings used in your access point/router for the correct values.

Now that the installation process is complete, ITP is now set up and opperational on your computer. Your next task is to configure the camera so that it knows how to communicate with your computer. To begin this process, double click on the ITP tray icon (shown above) in order to launch the Control Centre interface.

Step 10

Once the specified settings have been selected, click the Configure WT-1/WT-2/WFT-E1 link to begin the process of configuring your camera. Follow the provided directions to load these settings onto a memory card.

Firewalls are designed to protect computers from outside threats. One of the mechanisms used to do this is to block any connection that does not originate from the computer/network. For normal users this typically isn’t a problem as the tasks they perform are initiated by the user.

These image transmitters work in a different manner, however. When an image is ready to be transmitted, the camera is the one that initiates the connection. As such, intheirdefaultconfiguration, most firewalls will attempt to prevent this action from taking place. When that happens, the camera will be unable to connect to your computer.

If you are using firewall software other than the one supplied with Windows XP you may need to perform additional steps. In order for the camera to function correctly, the firewall must be configured to allow incoming FTP traffic (TCP/IP port 21). The way that you do this depends on the firewall being used, so please read the instructions that came with it.

Selecting your wireless network adapter.

During the installation process, you are prompted to select the network adapter used for your transmitter. Whenever ITP is started, it will automatically take steps to configure this adapter to operate with your transmitter. As such, if you switch to using another adapter you should change your selection in the ‘Configure Adapter’ entry in the ITP tray menu to ensure that these features continue to operate.
