• For information on WPS compatibility and for instructions on checking settings,
refer to the access point user manual.
• A router is a device that creates a network (LAN) structure for connecting multiple
computers. A router that contains an internal Wi-Fi function is called a “Wi-Fi router”.
• This guide refers to all Wi-Fi routers and base stations as “access points”.
• If you use MAC address filtering on your Wi-Fi network, be sure to add the
camera’s MAC address to your access point. You can check your camera’s
MAC address by choosing MENU ( = 21 ) ► [ ] tab ► [Wireless settings]
► [Wi-Fi Settings] ► [Check MAC Address].
Using WPS-Compatible Access Points
WPS makes it easy to complete settings when connecting devices over
Wi-Fi. You can use either Push Button Configuration Method or PIN Method
for settings on a WPS supported device.

Confirming Access Point Compatibility
Confirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fi
standards in “Camera” ( = 135 ).
Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point supports
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS, = 78 ) or not ( = 80 ). For non-WPS
access points, check the following information.
• Network name (SSID/ESSID)
The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the “access
point name” or “network name”.
• Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method / encryption
mode)
The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission. Check
which security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP),
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open system authentication),
or no security.
• Password (encryption key / network key)
The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission.
Also called the “encryption key” or “network key”.
• Key index (transmit key)
The key set when WEP is used for network authentication / data
encryption. Use “1” as the setting.
• If system administrator status is needed to adjust network settings,
contact the system administrator for details.
• These settings are very important for network security. Exercise
adequate caution when changing these settings.
