Resolution
Check the IP addresses of your camcorder and computer. The connection will not
succeed if the IP addresses are the same.
Sample setting:
If IP address of camcorder is 192.168.1.10
r
Set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.1.100.
Set the subnet mask on both to 255.255.255.0.
See page 7 or page 8 for details about setting the IP address.
Check the list of network connections on the computer, and make sure that the
network name (SSID) for connecting to the adapter is displayed.
If it is displayed: The adapter is functioning correctly. The unsuccessful
connection is due to the computer. Please check the computer's settings.
If it is not displayed: There is no signal from the adapter.
Follow the prodecure in "Configuring Your Camcorder to Enable Wi-Fi
Connections" (page 6) to make sure that the adapter sends a signal.
Do the following to check the wireless connection status of the camcorder.
Check the Wi-Fi status indication (see page 10) on the LCD monitor.
If there is no indication
The camcorder does not have a wireless connection. See the other resolutions.
If there is an indication
Make sure that it is not flashing.
If it is flashing (status 3): The camcorder is trying to make a wireless
connection. If this status continues for a long time, then either the camcorder
cannot find a computer to connect to, or the settings on the computer and
camcorder do not match. Check the settings of the camcorder and computer.
If it is solid (status 4): The wireless connection is complete.
If your application (Sony Planning Metadata Add-in or live logging) does not
function in this status, confirm the procedure in "Configuring Your Camcorder
to Enable Wi-Fi Connections" (page 6).
a)
Check the IP addresses of your camcorder and access point. The connection will
not succeed if the IP addresses are the same.
Sample setting:
If IP address of camcorder is 192.168.1.10
r
Set the IP address of the access point to 192.168.1.100.
Set the subnet mask on both to 255.255.255.0.
See page 7 or page 8 for details about setting the IP address.
Make sure that the SSID that you want to connect to appears on the NETWORKS
page of the camcorder.
If it is displayed: Select the SSID you want to connect to, and make the
connection by following the steps on page 9.
If it is not displayed: The signal from the access point could not be detected. On
your camcorder, run SCAN NETWORKS on the Wi-Fi page of the
MAINTENANCE menu. If it still does not appear, then the access point's
signal could be out of range or blocked, or there could be interference from
another signal. Try moving the access point to a different location.
Notes
• On the Wi-Fi page of the MAINTENANCE menu, go to the Wi-Fi SETTING
page, and set ENCRYPTION and NETWORK KEY to the same values on the
camcorder and access point.
• If the computer's OS is Windows Vista, then the WEP key index cannot be
changed from 1. Set the WEP KEY INDEX on the access point and camcorder
to 1 as well.
