6. Configure the wireless connection
Once the AXIS 207W/MW has been installed on your network, the wireless settings can be
configured. These settings should always (i.e. both during installation and at all other times)
be configured or changed in the camera first and in the wireless access point secondly. This
ensures that the camera is always accessible when making changes.
The AXIS 207W/MW automatically senses the available network connections, and allows
only one of these to be active at a time. Connecting a network cable disables the wireless
connection.
Using a wired connection ensures greater secrecy while making these settings.
Open the wireless settings from
Setup > System Options > Network > Wireless
. These
settings can also be reached from the
Basic Configuration
menu.

not appear unless the camera is associated with it. The network currently associated to is
shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey. The following

AXIS 207W/MW cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access
point.

Wireless Settings
These settings control how the AXIS 207W/MW interacts with the wireless network. Apart
from identifying the wireless network, it is also possible to enable wireless encryption.
SSID
- This is the name of the wireless network the camera is configured for. The field
accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The name must be exactly the same as that used
in the wireless access point, or the connection will not be established.
Leaving this field blank means the camera will attempt to access the nearest unsecured
network.
Note:
SSID is sometimes written as ESSID.
