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.

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.
