2.3[For BL-C20A] Using Wireless LAN

Wireless communication is possible by adjusting the settings of the wireless LAN to those of the wireless router. Take a note of the settings and save them for reference. For more information about wireless settings, please refer to http:// panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/.

1.Click [Wireless] on the Setup page.

2.Set each parameter for Wireless Configuration.

 

Setting

Description

 

 

SSID

• The SSID must be set to match the SSID your wireless

 

 

router or wireless LAN uses. The SSID is limited to 32

 

 

characters (alpha numeric) and is case sensitive.

 

 

Communication

• 802.11b: There are a lot of 802.11b-compliant products

mode

and they are inexpensive. They are widely prevalent, so it

 

 

is likely that 802.11b will match your existing wireless

 

 

devices.

 

 

• 802.11b/g (default): This mode supports both the 802.11b

 

 

and 802.11g wireless LAN standards. It is the

 

 

communication mode that is easiest to install on your

 

 

existing wireless LAN.

 

 

• 802.11g exclusive: This mode communicates using

 

 

802.11g only. It does not support the mixed standard mode

 

 

of 802.11b/g, so it allows the use of original features of

 

 

802.11g.*1

 

 

 

*1

Even if "802.11g exclusive" is in use, the existence of other wireless devices using a 2.4

 

GHz bandwidth —including 802.11b wireless devices— may make the baud rate on the

 

802.11g slower.
