Getting Ready - Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E7A Instruction Manual

Getting Ready

[FTP trans.], [EOSUtility], [WFTserver]
The connection instructions help you follow the steps to connect the transmitter to an existing
wireless or wired LAN.
To connect to a wireless LAN, prepare the wireless LAN terminal (wireless LAN access point or
wireless LAN adapter) and computer in advance so that they are ready for you to connect the
transmitter to the wireless network. When configuring the basic network settings, bring the
transmitter within 3 m / 9.8 ft. of the wireless LAN terminal.
To connect to a wired LAN, use a LAN cable to connect the transmitter and computer. Set the
transmitter for connection to the wired network.
Wireless transfer of movies
Individual movie files are large, and wireless file transfer takes some time. When setting up an
environment for stable transmission to the wireless LAN terminal, see the information on page
111.
[MediaServ.]
Set up a DLNA*-compatible television, digital photo frame, or similar media player so that it is
ready for use after the transmitter is connected to its network.
