Hawking Technology HNC720G - Manual (Page 7)

Hardware Installation
Please verify that your product package contains all the accessories listed in the
“Package Contents” section on the previous page. Depending on the user’s
application, an Ethernet cable may be needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the
specifications of UTP Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.
Connect the power adapter jack to the Network Camera before plugging it into
the power socket. This will reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.
Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs will blink between green and red a
few times. If the self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off and the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for
software installation. If the self-test fails, the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting.
The Network Camera will first attempt to detect an Ethernet connection. If it does not find an Ethernet connection, the
Network Camera will attempt to detect a Wireless LAN connection. During the search and connection process to the
wireless access point or station, the Network Camera’s red LED will flash every second. Until the Network Camera
connects to another wireless device, the red LED will remain lit. When operating in either network mode (wired or
wireless), the green LED will flash every second as a “heartbeat” to indicate that the device is in use.
Ethernet Installation
Make sure the Ethernet cable is firmly connected to your router’s switch ports, a standalone switch, or a hub. After
plugging in the power adapter, if the LED becomes steady green following the initial self-test, go to the next section, titled
“Software installation”. If a wired Ethernet connection is not available, the Network Camera will switch to wireless LAN
mode.
Wireless LAN Installation
If wired Ethernet connection is not available while the power is on or if you simply prefer a wireless connection, the
Network Camera will search for access points with the SSID “default”. If an access point is found, the camera LED will
turn green as it waits for installation. If the network camera is unable to find any such wireless device with the “default”
settings, you will first need to install the Network Camera using a wired Ethernet connection before proceeding with the
wireless LAN configuration. (You can configure the Network Camera onto your wireless LAN in the “Network” page
within the “Configuration” section of the camera’s webpage.)
