Status Of Wireless Networks - Axis 211 Installation Manual

Configure the wireless connection using a network cable
Once the AXIS 211W has been connected to your network, the wireless settings can be
configured. The fastest, most secure method to configure AXIS 211W is using a wired
connection, since it disables the wireless connection and ensures greater secrecy while
entering settings. The AXIS 211W automatically searches for available network connections,
and allows only one of these to be active at a time. Configuring the AXIS 211W using an
unsecured wireless connection is not recommended, since passphrases and keys saved will
be sent in plain text.
Open the wireless settings from Setup > Basic Configuration > Wireless.
Note:
For even greater security use HTTPS. Go to Setup > System Options >
Security > HTTPS and refer to the camera's online help.

Status of Wireless Networks

This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will
not appear unless the camera is linked to it. The network the AXIS 211W is currently linked
to is shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey. The following
information is provided:
• SSID - The name of a wireless network (or ad-hoc device). If the same name occurs
several times this means that several access points for that network were found. The
AXIS 211W cannot be configured to be linked to only one particular access point.
• Mode - An Access Point (Master) or Ad-Hoc device.
• Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the
supported security types.
Channel - Shows the wireless channel currently in use.
•
Signal strength - Shows the signal strength.
•
• Bit rate - The current bit rate in Mbit/s. This is only shown for the access point
currently in use.
