Appendix A: Wireless setup instructions without Cat5
We have received inquiries from customers with no available wired network
jack for the camera’s initial configuration. Or sometimes a camera is
inadvertently mounted before wireless setup.
While we don’t recommend this, it is still possible to configure the camera
without an initial wired connection using the following procedure.
1)
Temporarily rename your router’s Wifi network name (SSID) to:
wirelessnc
Also turn off all wireless security, i.e. no passwords and no MAC
filtering. It is important to have the SSID all lower case and without
extra spaces. Then connect to this Wifi network with your laptop.
2)
Power up the camera and wait about 1 minute… the camera should
connect to your Wifi and you should be able to access it using the IP
address that you reserved for it. If you did not previously reserve an IP
address for the camera, you should see the camera’s MAC address and
device name in your router’s list of attached devices (DHCP client list).
Unfortunately Apple Airport routers no longer have the DHCP client list,
so Airport users would need to know the camera’s MAC address and
reserve an IP address as shown in the “Mac Quickstart” chapter.
3)
From the main login page with “Enter” and “Setting”, log in directly to
the camera’s “Settings” and go to the camera’s wireless setup menu,
but do NOT use the “search” function.
Type the exact SSID that you had before the change in step 1, and type
the exact password that you wish to use. Double check it for correct
spelling. Then select the correct password type, usually WPA2 with AES
encryption, or WPA with TKIP. After double checking everything one
more time, click “Apply”. The camera will now stop responding since
the camera and router’s password info are not the same.
4)
Now set your Wifi SSID back to the exact same spelling as you entered
into the camera’s SSID field, and make sure the password and security
mode are also exactly the same. Then update and restart your Wifi
network. Now the camera and router once again have matching
wireless network info and the camera will respond again. You can now
proceed with any remaining setup of the camera.
