To connect the camera to an Ad-Hoc wireless workgroup, make sure that you set the same wireless channel
and SSID to match with the PC/Notebook’s configuration for direct wireless communication.
x Wireless Channel: This pull-down menu allows you to select the appropriate wireless channel for
communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between the camera and
access point in Infrastructure mode, or the 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.
x Transmission Rate: Select the data transmit rate from this pull-down menu. The default setting is Fully
Automatic.
WEP Encryption
x WEP Encryption: Wireless network communications can be intercepted easily. WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11g standard to make any intercepted
communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties. The default setting for this option is
Disable. But it is recommended that you either enable WEP encryption or utilize the more advanced form of
encryption, WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings are described in the section near the bottom of this page.
x WEP Key Format: To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide the encryption format first by selecting the
ASCII or HEX option, and then input the WEP key (in the following Key 1 - 4 box).
x Encrypt Data Transmissions Using: Use this pull-down menu to decide whether to use Key 1, 2, 3 or 4 for
encryption).
x WPA-PSK: This item is used to secure your wireless network in pre-shared key mode (8-63 ASCII or 64 HEX
characters). If you enable this function, each user must enter a pass phrase to access the network.
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 a 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters. For
example, ‘12345’. To setup a 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII characters. For example,
‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104 respectively; the
camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
HEX input format:
Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in
hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Only the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F (in upper
or lower case) are valid. To setup a 64-bit WEP key, input 10 characters in HEX format. For
example, ‘3132333435’ (which is the same as an ASCII input of ‘12345’). To set up a 128-bit
WEP key, input 26 characters in HEX format. For example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’,
(which is the same with ASCII input ‘1234567890123’). These character counts result in bit
counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the wireless network camera will automatically pad your input
to a bit count of 64 or 128.
