Home Wireless LAN
• Home wireless LAN refers to wireless LAN environment used at home. COOLPIX CONNECT
services are available in infrastructure mode, which supports connection to the Internet via
an access point. COOLPIX CONNECT services are not available if the home wireless LAN
uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet.
• For more information on home wireless LAN configuration, contact the manufacturer of
the wireless LAN adapter or access point, or see other commercially available references on
wireless LAN.
l
Network Profile
• A network profile refers to network information that must be configured with the camera
to enable connection to the Internet via an access point. In general, SSID (Service Set Identi-
fier) is referred to as a network name. When specifying SSIDs for COOLPIX CONNECT, con-
figure an individual network profile for each SSID. For more information on configuring
network profiles, see “Configuring Wireless LAN Settings from the Camera” (c 130) and
“Configuring Wireless LAN Settings from a Computer” (c 139).
• The first 16 characters of SSIDs (up to 32 alphanumerical characters) are automatically used
for corresponding network profiles.
• Network profiles required for home wireless LAN connections can be configured using the
camera, or a computer and the supplied COOLPIX CONNECT Utility. When using the cam-
era, network profiles can be configured by choosing the desired COOLPIX CONNECT ser-
vice from the camera’s setup menu. Note that connection may not be possible depending
on wireless LAN access point settings.

The COOLPIX CONNECT Utility
• The COOLPIX CONNECT Utility (hereafter referred to as Utility) is software that can be
installed and used to configure network profiles for wireless connection and to edit config-
uration settings with the camera when the camera is connected to the computer via the
supplied audio video/USB cable. Configuration is possible using the camera’s setup menu.
However, the Utility may be more convenient for entering text, such as for e-mail
addresses.
• Install the Utility from the yellow COOLPIX CONNECT Utility/PictureProject Installer CD sup-
plied with the camera (c 140).
