Changing Settings

IP Security (IPsec)

Configured in [TCP/IP]  [Security].

IPsec is a set of standards for encrypted communication over the Internet. It provides effective security for both wireless and wired LANs. To use this function, you must enable IPsec in the network settings of your computer. When IPsec is employed, only transport mode is supported, and DES encryption and SHA1 authentication are used. Note that the IP address of the computer for communication with the transmitter must be entered in [Destination address] on the settings screen.

Directory Structure of the Target Folder

Configured in [FTP server]  [Directory structure].

Selecting [Camera] automatically creates a folder structure matching that of the camera’s (such as A/DCIM/100EOS1D) in the server’s root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, a folder structure such as A/ DCIM/100EOS1D is automatically created in that folder for image storage.

Selecting [Default] will use the root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, images are saved in that folder.

Overwriting Files of the Same Name

Configured in [FTP server]  [Overwrite same file].When the transmitter is configured to prevent overwriting

If there is already a file of the same name in the target folder on the FTP server, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underline and a number, as in IMG_0003_1.JPG.

When you resend images if initial transfer fails

Even if the transmitter is configured to overwrite files of the same name, if you resend an image file that could not be transferred initially, the existing file may not be overwritten in some cases. If this happens, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underline, a letter, and a number, as in IMG_0003_a1.JPG.

Passive Mode

Configured in [FTP server]  [Passive mode].

Enable this setting in network environments protected by a firewall. If an Error 41 occurs (“Cannot connect to FTP server”), setting passive mode to [Enable] may enable access to the FTP server.

Preventing Changes to Settings

To prevent accidental changes to LAN settings, set [Protect settings] to [On].
