Page: 29 / 84

If your application requires direct connection from an ADSL modem through the wireless network camera’s RJ-45 LAN
port and you also have an ISP PPPoE account, click on the “PPPoE” option and enter the Service Name, User ID and
Password into the respective fields. The wireless network camera will get an IP address from the ISP each time the
wireless network camera starts up.
DNS IP Address:
A DNS (Domain Name System) server is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Enter at least
one DNS IP Address.
Dynamic DNS:
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in any of the domains, allowing
your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.
Wireless Interface
Connection Mode:
Use the Connection mode to determine the type of wireless communication for the wireless network camera. There are
three available options: Infrastructure mode, 802.11 Adhoc mode and Adhoc mode. The default setting for the
Connection mode is Infrastructure mode.
Network Name:
This field is used to set which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service Set ID) the Wireless Internet Camera is to be
connected to for communication. The ESS-ID is a unique identifier shared among all points in a wireless network
environment.
The default Network Name is a blank space (NULL String). This default setting will let the wireless network camera
connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.
To connect the wireless network camera to a specific access point on the network, make sure to set the ESS-ID of the
wireless network camera to correspond with the ESS-ID of the access point for communication. Type any string up to 32
characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box.
To connect the Wireless Internet Camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup make sure to set the same wireless channel
and ESS-ID to match with the PC/Notebook wireless channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless communication under the
Ad-hoc wireless workgroup.
Wireless Channel:
The pull down menu provides the wireless channels for communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used
in communication between the wireless network camera and access point in infrastructure mode, or the wireless network
camera and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the
regulatory region in which the unit is sold. The default setting is channel 11.
Encryption WEP Key:
Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method
specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by
unauthorized parties.
