“Improve audio quality in low bandwidth environment” If the Network Camera
seems to work in a low bandwidth network environment, the user can use this option
to see if audio quality can be improved by sacrificing some real-time synchronization.
“Mute” This can force the transmission protocol to HTTP and disable audio.
WLAN Configuration
“SSID” (Service Set Identifier), it is a name that identifies a wireless network. Access
Points and wireless clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN (Wireless Local
Area Network) must use the same SSID. The default setting is default. Note: The
maximum length of SSID is 32 single-byte characters and SSID can’t be any of “, <, >
and space character.
“Wireless mode” Clicking on the pull-down menu to select from the following
options:
“Infrastructure” Make the Network Camera connect to the WLAN via an Access Point.
(The default setting)
“Ad-Hoc” Make the Network Camera connect directly to a host equipped with a
wireless adapter in a peer-to-peer environment.
“Channel” While in infrastructure mode, the channel is selected automatically to
match the channel setting for the selected Access Point. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel
must be manually set to the same channel for each wireless adapter. The default
channel setting depends on the installed region.
“TX rate” This field is for selecting the maximum transmission rate on the network.
The default setting is “auto”, that is the Network Camera will try to connect to the other
wireless device with highest transmitting rate.
“Preamble”, either “Long preamble” or “Short preamble” defines the length of the
CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors) for communication between the Access Point and the roaming
wireless device. Long Preamble is the default setting. Note: High network traffic areas
should use the shorter preamble type.
“Data encryption” Checking the box to enable the data encryption. By default it is
disabled.
“Auth. Mode” Choosing one of the following modes, (Auto is the default setting)
“Auto” – Will automatically decide the authentication mode of the wireless client.
“Shared” – allows communication only with other devices with identical WEP
settings.
“Open” – communicates the key across the network.
