Network type - Setting this to Master means the camera will attempt to access the network
via an access point. The Ad-hoc option allows the camera to connect to other wireless
devices, e.g. a laptop with a wireless connection.
Security - The AXIS 207W/MW supports two security methods:
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (recommended method)
•
WEP
•
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key)
The AXIS 207W/MW uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for key management. The pre-shared key
can be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters, or as a
Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection)
WEP - Authentication - Select Open or Shared Key System Authentication, depending
on the method used by your access point. Not all access points have this option, in
which case they probably use Open System, which is sometimes known as SSID
Authentication.
WEP - Key length - This sets the length of the key used for the wireless encryption, 64
or 128 bit. The encryption key length can sometimes be shown as 40/64 and 104/128.
WEP - Key Type - The key types available depend on the access point being used. The
following options are available:
• Manual - Allows you to manually enter the hex key.
• ASCII - In this method the string must be exactly 5 characters for 64-bit WEP and
13 characters for 128-bit WEP.
• Passphrase - The passphrase can contain up to 31 characters. In 64-bit WEP, the
Passphrase generates 4 different keys. For 128-bit WEP, only 1 key is generated,
which is then replicated for all 4 keys. Key generation is not standardized and can
differ from brand to brand. Check that the generated keys are identical to those in
your access point - if not, they must be entered manually.
WEP - Active Transmit Key - When using WEP encryption, this selects which of the 4
keys the AXIS 207MW/AXIS 207W uses when transmitting.
Complete the wireless installation
1. Check that the wireless settings in the camera correspond to the settings in the access
point.
2. Disconnect the network cable from the camera.
3. Refresh the web page after 20-30 seconds to confirm the wireless connection. If the
camera cannot be accessed, run AXIS IP Utility to discover the new IP address and try
again.
