114When using the transmitter with a wireless LAN, try the following corrective actions if thetransmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur.When using the transmitter indoors, install the wireless LAN terminal in the same roomwhere you are shooting.Install the wireless LAN terminal higher than the transmitter.Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the camera.Install the device as close as possible to the camera. In particular, note that duringoutdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection.If the transmission rate over a wireless LAN drops because of interference from the followingelectronic devices, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem.The transmitter communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/g and Bluetoothusing radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmissionrate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones,or similar devices operating on the same frequency band.If a wireless LAN terminal on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby,the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.If multiple transmitters are connected to a single wireless LAN terminal, be careful not touse duplicate camera IP addresses.Note that the transmission rate drops when multiple transmitters access a single wirelessLAN terminal.To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple wireless IEEE 802.11b/gdevices, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel. For example,use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13.When IEEE 802.11a can be used, switch to IEEE 802.11a and specify a different channel.Wireless LAN radio waves can be easily intercepted. For this reason, we recommendactivating encrypted communication in the wireless LAN terminal settings.Wireless LAN NotesWireless LAN Terminal Installation and Antenna PositionNearby Electronic DevicesUsing Multiple TransmittersSecurityCOPY
