Canon VB150 Installation location and communications security, With the new IP address → P.34

Tip

Two modes are used for wireless LANs: “Ad-Hoc” mode for communication between stations, and “Infrastructure” mode for access via access points. In each case the same settings as for the communication destination are required.

Wireless LAN

"Use Wireless LAN"

Tick this check box to use a wireless LAN.

"Network Mode"

Select Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode.

"Channel"

If "Ad-Hoc" is selected as the network mode, select a number from 1 to 14 as the channel to be used for communication.

"ESS ID"

Enter the ESS ID. This setting is only available when "Infrastructure" is selected as the network mode. The ESS ID can consist of any characters except for double quotation marks (“).

"IP Address"

Enter a network interface-specific IP address. Note that you cannot specify the same IP address as that specified for the Ethernet.

"Subnet Mask"

Enter the subnet mask specified for the network to be connected.

"Transmission Rate"

Select the transmission rate.

“Enable WEP”

For encrypted communication, set the same encryption keys.

Select 64 bit or 128 bit as the “Key Length” used, enter the encryption key and then select the key to be used for transmission in the "Default key".

Contact the network administrator for the IP address, subnet mask, and encryption settings.

Match the WEP to the hexadecimal setting for the communications access point. Only hexadecimal values can be entered on the VB150.

c	● If a wireless LAN is to be used, give serious consideration to the
	installation location and communications security.
Note	● If you are using a wireless LAN, take particular care with the IP address,
	subnet mask and route settings. If errors are found in any of these items,
	you may be completely unable to access the VB150 via a wireless LAN.
	● When you change an IP address, please re-access the Settings Title Page
	with the new IP address (→ P.34).
	● Turn the VB150 off before you insert a wireless LAN card or a modem card.
	● Physically different networks should be used for Ethernet and wireless LAN
	connections.
	● Note that the VB150 cannot be used in 802.11 Ad-Hoc mode when using
	system software such as Windows XP.
