Wireless Settings
To establish communication, the wireless settings must be the same as in the access point or
ad-hoc device. You can select a network by clicking on an access point or ad-hoc device
under Status of Wireless Networks, which automatically fills in many of the required fields
under Wireless Settings. Keys, passphrases and certificates that are used for security must be
entered manually. Contact your Network Administrator for the requirement for the desired
access point or ad-hoc device.
SSID - The name of the wireless network you are configuring the camera for. Leave this field
blank if you would like the AXIS 211W to attempt to access the nearest unsecured network.
Note: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is sometimes written as ESSID (Extended Service Set
Identifier).
Mode - Select Master to access the network via an access point or Ad-hoc if you would like
to access another wireless device, e.g. a laptop with a wireless connection.
