Wireless

These settings should always be made firstly in the camera and in the wireless access point secondly. This ensures that the camera is always accessible when making changes.

Using a wired connection and/or HTTPS ensures greater secrecy while making these settings.

Status of Wireless Networks

This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will not appear unless the camera is associated with it. The network currently associated to is shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey. The following information is provided:

•SSID - The name of a wireless network (or ad-hoc device). If the same name occurs several times this means that several access points for that network were found. The camera cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access point.

•Mode - The Access Point (Master) or Ad-Hoc device.

•Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the security types supported by the camera.

•Channel - Shows the wireless channel currently in use.

•Signal strength - Shows the signal strength.

•Bit rate - Shows the bit rate in Mbit/s. This can only be shown for the access point currently in use. Note that the bit rate shown is the current rate, and that this value may vary over time.

Wireless Settings

These settings control how the AXIS 207MW interacts with the wireless network. Apart from identifying the wireless network, it is also possible to enable wireless encryption.

SSID - 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.

Note: SSID is sometimes written as ESSID.

Network type - Setting this to Master means the camera will attempt to access the nearest open access point. The Ad-hocoption allows the camera to connect to other wireless devices.

Security - The AXIS 207MW supports two security methods:

•WPA/WPA2-PSK(recommended method)

•WEP
