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 network camera is associated with it.
The network currently associated to is shown in blue. A network using unsupported
security is shown in grey.
Click the Refresh button to perform a new scan, which then provides the following
information:
• SSID - The name of a wireless network. If the same name occurs several times this means
that several access points for that network were found. The AXIS 206W cannot be
configured to only associate with one particular access point.
• Mode - Access Point (Master) or Ad-Hoc device.
• Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the types
supported by the AXIS 206W.
• 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.
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.
