IP Security Cam
13
The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String), and this default setting will let the IP Security Cam
connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode.
To connect the IP Security Cam to a specific access point on the network, please make sure to set the ESS-ID of the
IP Security Cam 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 IP Security Cam 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 IP Security Cam and Access Point in infrastructure mode or the IP Security
Cam 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 IP Security Cam will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
HEX input format:
Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16)
notation. Only the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup 64-bit
WEP key, input 10 HEX format, for example, ‘3132333435’, this is the same with ASCII input ‘12345’. To setup
128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format, for example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, this is the same with
ASCII input ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the IP
Security Cam will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.
On the Confirm WEP Key field, input the same characters as the Encryption Code field.
Make sure the Encryption Code is the same with the access point’s encryption code that the IP Security Cam is to
be connected under Infrastructure mode. Your PC/Notebook’s encryption code also needs to be setup the same
with the IP Security Cam's encryption code under either Infrastructure mode or Ad-hoc mode.
The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable therefore, to secure the wireless transmission be sure to
Enable the Encryption Key by entering the relevant data.
Carefully input Encryption Code, any error setting will cause communication link to fail.
LED Control:
The LED control allows user to setup the LED illumination as desired. This feature provides the flexibility when
surveillance activity is ON.
There are three options as follows:
Normal –
Power - Steady On of the LED indicator.
