EasyGuard IP200
2.3. Wireless connection (for IP Cam(w))
The IP CAM can also be connected to the home/office network through the
802.11 b/g wireless connection. There are only three things that you need to do to
have the wireless connection:
1. Set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page.
2. Test if the WiFi settings are correct.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
First, set the WiFi security settings on the web configuration page.
Make sure there is a WiFi router or AP on your home or office network. Write
down the WiFi security parameters used in this WiFi AP/router, including the SSID ,
security mode, encryption protocols and the “key” values. The supported WiFi
security mode of the IP CAM is WEP(64 bits and 128 bits) and WPA-PSK(TKIP and
AES). In most of the home/office WiFi environment, this is quite enough.
The easiest way to set the WiFi settings on the IP CAM is through CamView
software. Right-click the searched IP CAM in the “Auto Search” list and click the
“Web Configure” to open the login window of the IP CAM. Fill in all the WiFi security
parameters you have written down. The WiFi configuration is complete now.
Please refer to section 3.4 for more detailed description if needed
.
Second, test if the WiFi settings are correct
You can now test if the above WiFi settings are correct. Click the “WiFi test” on
the “WiFi Security” settings web page. The testing result will be displayed in less than
60 seconds. If the test is failed, please check the WiFi security parameters and test
again.
Third, unplug the Ethernet cable
If the WiFi test is successful, you can then enable the WiFi connection by
unplugging the Ethernet cable from the IP CAM. The IP CAM will detect the Ethernet
cable unplugged condition and start the WiFi connection. After the WiFi is connected,
the IP CAM will connect to the Internet immediately.
Notice :
1. Please remember that the WiFi connection will use a different IP address, you will
need to do the “Auto Search” function in the CamView again to find the IP CAM
again after the WiFi is connected.
2. If you want to switch back to the wired Ethernet connection, just plug in the
Ethernet cable into the IP CAM again. Do not need to disable the WiFi function
