A router that contains an internalWi-Fi function is called a “Wi-Fi router”.● This guide refers to all Wi-Fi routers and base stations as “accesspoints”.● If you use MAC address filtering on your Wi-Fi network, be sureto add the camera’s MAC address to your access point. You cancheck your camera’s MAC address by choosing MENU (= 31)► [ 4] tab ► [Wi-Fi Settings] ► [Check MAC Address].Using WPS-Compatible Access PointsWPS makes it easy to complete settings when connecting devices overWi-Fi. You can use either Push Button Configuration Method or PINMethod for settings on a WPS supported device.1 Confirm that the computer isconnected to an access point.z For instructions on checking theconnection, refer to the device andaccess point user manuals.2 Access the Wi-Fi menu.z Press the [ ] button to turn the cameraon.z Press the [ ] button.z If the [Device Nickname] screen isdisplayed, press the [ ][ ] buttons orturn the [ ] dial to choose [OK], and thenpress the [ ] button.Saving Images to a Connected ComputerConnect to your access point via Wi-Fi as follows.Also refer to the access point user manual.Confirming Access Point CompatibilityConfirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fistandards in “Wi-Fi” (= 211).Connection methods vary depending on whether the access pointsupports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS, = 142) or not (= 144). Fornon-WPS access points, check the following information.● Network name (SSID/ESSID)The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the“access point name” or “network name”.● Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method /encryption mode)The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission. Checkwhich security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK(TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open systemauthentication), or no security.● Password (encryption key / network key)The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission. Alsocalled the “encryption key” or “network key”.● Key index (transmit key)The key set when WEP is used for network authentication / dataencryption. Use “1” as the setting.● If system administrator status is needed to adjust networksettings, contact the system administrator for details.● These settings are very important for network security. Exerciseadequate caution when changing these settings.
