TRENDnet TV-IP100W manual Wireless Interface, Ascii input format

Wireless Interface:

Connection Mode:

Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless communication for the Wireless Internet Camera. There are three choices of Infrastructure mode, and Adhoc mode. The default setting for the Connection Mode is Infrastructure.

Network Name:

This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service Set ID) the Wireless Internet Camera is to be connected for communication. The ESS-ID is a unique identifier shared among all points in a wireless network environment.

The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String), and this default setting will let the Wireless Internet Camera connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.

To connect the Wireless Internet Camera to a specific access point on the network, please make sure to set the ESS-ID of the Wireless Internet Camera to correspond with the access point’s ESS-ID for communication. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box.

To connect the Wireless Internet Camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup, please make sure to set the same wireless channel and ESS-ID to match with the PC/Notebook wireless channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless communication under the Ad-hoc wireless workgroup.

Wireless Channel:

The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between the Wireless Internet Camera and Access Point in infrastructure mode or the Wireless Internet Camera and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the regulatory region where the unit is sold. The default setting is at channel 11.

Encryption WEP Key:

Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties.

To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide which WEP key format will be applied first. Click the ASCII or HEX check box to select input format as ASCII format or HEX format, and then input WEP key. To confirm the WEP key, you must enter the data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.

ASCII input format:

ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. All unaccented upper- and lower-case Western European characters that can be input through your keyboard's typing zone are valid. To setup 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters, for example, ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII characters, for example, ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the Wireless Internet Camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
