Hardware Installation

Upon powering up, the device runs through a self-test procedure and the front LEDs will
blink between green and red a few times. If self-test passes, the LEDs will shut off and
the Network Camera will be on stand-by and ready for software installation. If self-test fails
the red LED will blink several times. Refer to Appendix A for troubleshooting.
LevelOne FCS-1010/WCS-2010 Network Camera will first detect Ethernet. If it does not
connect to Ethernet, the Network Camera will try WLAN. During the searching and
connecting process to the wireless access point or station, the red LED of the Network
Camera will flash every second. Until the Network Camera connects to the other wireless
device, the red LED will become lighted. Operating in either network mode, the green
LED will flash every second as heartbeat to indicate alive.
To install in Ethernet
Make sure the Ethernet is firmly connected to a switch hub. After attaching the Ethernet
cable plug in the power adapter. If the LED turns out to be steady green after self-test, go to
next paragraph "Software installation". If the Ethernet is not available, Network Camera will
switch to wireless LAN mode.
To install in wireless LAN
If the Ethernet is not available while power on, the Network Camera will search for any
access point with the SSID "default". Once any access point is found, the LED will turn
green to wait for installation. If the network environment cannot meet the default settings,
install Network Camera in Ethernet to proceed with wireless LAN configuration.
Please verify that your product package contains all the
accessories listed in the foregoing Package Contents.
Depending on the user's application, an Ethernet cable may be
needed. The Ethernet cable should meet the specs of UTP
Category 5 and not exceed 100 meters in length.
Connect the power adapter jack to the Network
Camera before plugging in to the power socket. This
will reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.
