Wireless Network Settings
The Wireless Camera Setup Utility may require information on some or all of the
following wireless network settings:
Item Description
Network Name (SSID)
(required)
Enter a name for the wireless network or choose from a list of existing
networks. Do not change the name if it is supplied automatically .
Type
(required)
• Camera to Computer (Ad-hoc): The network is ad-hoc if it consists only of
the camera and the computer.
• Access Point (Infrastructure): Infrastructure networks include a wireless ac-
cess point connected to a local-area network.
Channel
The channel used for peer-to-peer wireless communication (ad-hoc
networks only). Choose from channels 1–11.
Authentication
The type of authentication used by the computer or access point. The
camera supports WPA-PSK (infrastructure mode only), open system, and
shared key authentication.
Security
The type of encryption (if any) used on the network. Depending on the
authentication used, the following types of encryption are available:
• Open: none, WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit
• Shared: WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit
• WPA-PSK: TKIP
Security Key Format
If the network uses WEP encryption, note whether the key is base 16
(uses only the numbers 0–9 and the letters a–f ) or ASCII.
Security Key If the network uses TKIP or WEP encryption, enter the network key.
Key Index
In infrastructure networks that use WEP encryption, enter the host or ac-
cess point key index. The default index is 1.
Confi gure
(required)
Note whether the network is confi gured to supply IP address automati-
cally (the default setting) or manually.
IP address
If the network is confi gured for manual IP addresses, enter the IP address
that will be assigned to the camera.
MAC Address Filtering
If the wireless network uses MAC address fi ltering, you will need to supply the fi lter with the
camera’s MAC address. Choose Firmware version from the camera setup menu (
89) and
note the camera MAC address.
Port Numbers
The camera uses UDP port 5353 and TCP port 15740. If you are using a fi rewall, you will need
to confi gure it to leave these ports open.
