Using The Cell Network - CamRanger User Manual

When the CamRanger is bridged to another network it
provides two modes of operaLon. A device can connect to the
CamRanger when that device is connected to either the
CamRanger or bridged network. If the CamRanger is bridged
to an Internet connected network, devices on the CamRanger
network will be able to access the Internet.
NOTE: If the CamRanger is not able to join a network, such as
due to an invalid password, it is possible that CamRanger will
not create it its own network and the WiFi light will be off. If
this occurs, power on the CamRanger on where it cannot
access the bridged network or temporarily turn off the
bridged network. The bridged network within the CamRanger
network sejngs can then be deleted or modified. Note that
the SSID of the exisLng network must be less than 32
characters and cannot contain an apostrophe or quotaLon
mark.
WiFi Bridging as well as other network configuraLon can be
performed using the CamRanger Sejngs applicaLon available for both OS X and Windows and
can assist with troubleshooLng. Please refer to CamRanger Sejngs User Guide for more
informaLon.
Using the Cell Network
Typically if connected to a WiFi network, an iPad or iPhone will not use the cell network to
connect to the Internet, even if the device has cellular connecLvity. So when connected to the
CamRanger WiFi network, by default it is not possible to reach the Internet. However, there is
an unofficial work-around. If connecLon issues arise, reverLng back to the original configuraLon
may be required, however, most users have had good success simultaneously communicaLng
with the CamRanger over WiFi and the Internet over the cellular network. To configure this
work-around, please use the following steps:
• Open the iOS Sejngs app and select the WiFi secLon.
• Join the CamRanger WiFi network
• Afer the network is joined, select the informaLon buOon to the right of the
CamRanger network name.
• Note the IP Address assigned under the DHCP tab.
• Select the StaLc stab.
• Enter the IP Address noted from the DHCP tab.
• Enter a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
• Leave all other fields blank.
This guide is not intended to be a networking guide, but please note that it is possible that
connecLon issues arise either with the iOS device or with other devices that may be on the
CamRanger WiFi network. If having any problems, it is recommend to remove the values under
the StaLc tab and revert back to DHCP.
