Section 4 - Configuration
This section allows you to setup and configure the wireless
settings on your camera.
Network Name: This is the Service Set Identifier, an identifier for your
wireless network.
Site Survey: The drop down menu lists all wireless access points that
the camera was able to detect.
Wireless Mode: Infrastructure is a wireless connection using an
access point as a transmission point of all wireless devices. Ad-Hoc
is a wireless connection used without an access point, where your
DCS-942L is directly connecting to your PC. This is done using
the on-board wireless adapter on the DCS-942L connected to a
wireless adapter on the PC.
Security Mode: The DCS-942L provides three options for wireless
security; None, WEP, and WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK. Select the same
encryption method that is being used by your wireless device/router.
WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network
so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one wireless device to
another. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key.
The key is a string of characters that you create.
Key: An appropriate Preshared Key, which is needed in order to
connect to the wireless network. Check the Show Hidden Key box to
reveal the password you have entered.
Channel: The default setting is channel 6. Select the same channel
that is being used by other wireless devices within your network.
When there is an interference from the wireless networks that overlap
with one another, you may change the channel to obtain maximum
performance for your connection.
Click the Save Settings button to save your changes.
