Checking Your Wireless Network Configuration (Configuration
Only)
If you are already using a wireless network, check the following settings and note them in the
checklist.
Check If Required Software Is Installed
Before configuring the wireless settings, confirm whether or not the supplied software has
been installed.
If the software is not yet installed, use the supplied Canon Digital Camera Solution Disk and
install it according to the procedures in
Using the Software on the Windows Platform-The
Basics
(p. 19).
• If you are configuring a network managed by a system administrator, obtain
the network settings information from the network administrator.
• An encryption key is an important asset. Manage it securely so that no one
else can learn what it is.
• See the user guide for your wireless LAN router for details on checking the
settings.
