34AXIS 207MW - System Options

WPA/WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key)

The AXIS 207MW 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 camera uses when transmitting.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The AXIS 207MW can be configured to use a SOCKS server (version 4 or 5) to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This is useful if the camera is located on a local network behind a firewall, but notifications, uploads, alarms, etc., need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (e.g. to the Internet).
