AXIS 206 - System Options 32
Wireless Settings (AXIS 206W only)
These settings control how the AXIS 206W interacts with the wireless network. Apart from identifying the wireless network, it is also possible to enable wireless encryption.
Important!
If the wireless settings need to be changed and the USB cable is not available, be sure to change the settings in the AXIS 206W first and then duplicate the settings in your access point. It will not other- wise be possible to access the camera after the settings have been changed.
If the USB cable is used to configure the settings, then the settings can be made in any order, as long as they are identical in both cases.
Using the USB cable ensures secrecy while making these settings.
