Creating Ad Hoc Networks
The ability to create an instant, "ad hoc" network between a camera and a com-
puter with a wireless card is beneficial because no extra hardware is required. A
photographer can simply shoot from the camera to a near by notebook computer
and instantly review the images as they are shot.
Macintosh
To create an Ad Hoc network on a Macintosh is fairly straight forward and inv-
loves two steps, create the network and assign a manual IP address:
Create the Wireless Network
From the "Airport Status Menu" choose "Create Network" Give the new
network a name (this will be the SSID used in the camera setup) and choose
a channel to operate on. If the Airport status is not show on the top menu bar,
turn this option on in the "Network" System Preference's "Airport" tab. You
now have created and joined a new Ad Hoc network.
Configure the IP Address
When joining an Ad Hoc network to do FTP you will need to manually assign an
IP address to each device on the network. From the Mac's "Apple" menu choose
"System Preferences". Once the System Preferences
Window is open click the "Network" icon.
Choose "Airport" from the "Show" pop-up and enter
"Manually" in the "Configure" pop-up. You will then
enter a unique number in the "IP Address" field.
Any unique IP number can be used, however, we
recommend using a "normal" IP address such as
"192.168.1.1" you could then use "192.168.1.2" for
the camera's IP address. The number you enter here
will be the number that you choose in the camera as
the "FTP Server Address"
You will need to "Manually" configure the IP Address
of the camera as well. Use a number in the same
range as the computer: "192.168.1.3" for example.
