AXIS 207/207W - System Options
Leaving this field blank means the AXIS 207W will attempt to access the nearest open
network.
Note: SSID is sometimes written as ESSID.
Security - The AXIS 207W supports two security methods:
•WPA-PSK (recommended method)
•WEP
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key)
The AXIS 207W uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for key management. The pre-shared key can
be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters, or as a
Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection)
WEP - Authentication - Select Open or Shared Key System Authentication, depending
on the method used by your access point. Not all access points have this option, in
which case they probably use Open System, which is sometimes known as SSID
Authentication.
WEP - Key length - This sets the length of the key used for the wireless encryption, 64
or 128 bit. The encryption key length can sometimes be shown as 40/64 and 104/128.
WEP - Key Type - The key types available depend on the access point being used. The
following options are available:
• Manual - Allows you to manually enter the hex key.
• ASCII - In this method the string must be exactly 5 characters for 64-bit WEP and 13
characters for 128-bit WEP.
• Passphrase - The passphrase can contain up to 31 characters. In 64-bit WEP, the
Passphrase generates 4 different keys. For 128-bit WEP, only 1 key is generated, which is
then replicated for all 4 keys. Key generation is not standardized and can differ from brand
to brand. Check that the generated keys are identical to those in your access point - if not,
they must be entered manually.
WEP - Active Transmit Key - When using WEP encryption, this selects which of the 4
keys the AXIS 207W uses when transmitting.
SMTP (email)
Enter the host names or addresses for your primary and secondary mail servers in the fields
provided, to enable the sending of notifications and image/video email messages from the
camera to predefined addresses via SMTP.
If your mail server requires authentication, check the box for Use authentication to log in
