Wireless Interface:
Connection Mode:
Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless
communication for the Wireless Internet Camera. There are three
choices of
Infrastructure mode
, and
Adhoc mode
. The default
setting for the Connection Mode is Infrastructure.
Network Name:
This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID
Extended Service Set ID) the Wireless Internet Camera is to be
connected for communication. The ESS-ID is a unique identifier
shared among all points in a wireless network environment.
The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String), and
this default setting will let the Wireless Internet Camera connect
to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.
To connect the Wireless Internet Camera to a specific access
point on the network, please make sure to set the ESS-ID of the
Wireless Internet Camera to correspond with the access point’s
ESS-ID 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, please 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 channel for
communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used
in communication between the Wireless Internet Camera and
Access Point in infrastructure mode or the Wireless Internet
Camera and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the
appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the
regulatory region where the unit is sold. The default setting is at
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.
To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide which WEP key
format will be applied first. Click the ASCII or HEX check box
to select input format as ASCII format or HEX format, and then
input WEP key. To confirm the WEP key, you must enter the
data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.
ASCII input format:
ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as
an eight-bit value. All unaccented upper- and lower-case Western
European characters that can be input through your keyboard's
typing zone are valid. To setup 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII
characters, for example, ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP key,
input 13 ASCII characters, for example, ‘1234567890123’.
These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104,
respectively; the Wireless Internet Camera will automatically pad
your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
