To create an Ad Hoc network on a Windows computer invloves two steps, create
the network and assign a manual IP address:
Create the Wireless Network
From the "Start" menu choose "Control Panels" then choose the "Network"
control panel icon. Assuming that the wireless networking device is installed and
working properly you will see a "Wireless Networking Connection" icon; you
may also see a "Local Area Connection" if you have a wired network as well. If
the wireless item is not present, consult the manufacturer of the wireless device
for assistance.
Right-click on the "Wireless Networking Connection" icon and choose "Proper-
ties" choose the "Wireless Networks" tab and click the "Add" button. Enter the
desired "Network name" (which will the the ESS
ID entered into the camera) and turn off any WEP
items. You now have created a wireless 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. After creating the ad hoc
network, click the "General" Tab for the wireless
device.
Double-click the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" item in the list and enter an IP ad-
dress in the "Use the following 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 Ad-
dress of the camera as well. Use a number in the
same range as the computer: "192.168.1.3" for
example.
