“default”. Note: The maximum length of an SSID is 32 single-byte characters and it cannot include the following
characters: “, <, > or the space character.
Wireless mode: Click on the pull-down menu to select from the following options:
Infrastructure: Makes the Network Camera connect to the WLAN via an Access Point. (This is the default
setting.)
Ad-Hoc: Makes 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”, meaning
that the network camera will try to connect to other wireless devices with the highest transmission rate.
Preamble (either “Long preamble” or “Short preamble”): defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic Redundancy
Check: 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: Check the box to enable data encryption. It is disabled by default.
Auth. Mode: Choose one of the modes below (“Auto” is the default setting; it is recommended that you leave it in this
mode):
Auto: The selection will apply the Shared mode authentication method. This is the strictest mode.
Shared: Allows communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings.
Open: Communicates the key across the network.
Key length: The administrator can select the key length among 64 or 128 bits. 64-bit is the default setting.
Key format: Hexadecimal or ASCII. “HEX” is the default setting.
HEX: Characters consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.
ASCII: is a code for representing English letters as numbers from 0-127. You will not be able to use the
following characters: “ < > or the space character. If you decide to change from Hex to ASCII, you will receive
a warning message that informs you that you cannot use these characters (with their Hex translations next to them
in parentheses).
Network Key: Enter a key in either Hex (hexadecimal) or ASCII format. When selecting different key lengths,
acceptable input length is listed as follows:
64-bit key length: 10 Hex digits or 5 ASCII characters.
128-bit key length: 26 Hex digits or 13 ASCII characters.
