Note on Choosing [Create an Ad-hoc (Camera to Computer) network
profile] on Windows XP
• When configuring a profile device using an ad-hoc network between the camera and com-
puter, the computer’s fixed IP address (manually entered IP address) will be automatically
set to “169.254.x.x”. When adding an infrastructure network later, set the computer to
automatically obtain an IP address. For the added network profiles, configure wireless set-
tings between the camera and computer again.
• [Create an Ad-hoc (Camera to Computer) network profile] cannot be selected if an infra-
structure network has already been set up in your computer, or the fixed IP address is not
“169.254.x.x”.
