Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless Network Camera lets you access your network using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between your adapter and other network devices (such as your Network Camera) - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may weaken the wireless signal. Try to position your
access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade
your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or other radio frequency sources (such as microwave ovens), your wireless connection may
degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible.
The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

WPS - Hardware Push Button Setup
Alternatively, you may create a WPS connect using the WPS Button on the back of the camera.
To create a WPS connection:
Step 1
Press and hold the WPS button on the side of the camera for three seconds. The blue WPS status LED above the button will blink.
Step 2
Press the WPS button on your router within 60 seconds. The WPS button is usually on the front or side of your router. On some routers, you may need to log in to the web interface and then click on an onscreen button to activate the WPS feature. If you are not sure where the WPS button is on your router, please refer
to your router’s User Manual.
The DCS-932 will automatically create a wireless connection to your router.
While connecting, the green LED will ash and your camera will reboot.

Conguration
Using the Conguration Menu
After completing the Camera Installation Wizard, you are ready to use your camera. The camera’s built-in Web conguration utility is designed to allow you to easily access and congure your DCS-932. At the end of the wizard, click Go To Camera, or enter the IP address
of your camera into a web browser, such as Internet Explorer®. To log in, use the User name admin and the password you created in the Installation Wizard. If you did not create a password, the default password is blank. After entering your password, click OK.
Note: If you are directly connecting your PC to the camera, or if you are using the camera on a closed network, the default IP is 192.168.0.20.

automatically assign dynamic IP to your device.
• Static IP Address if your ISP has already assigned an IP address to
you.
• PPPoE connection, where your camera is directly connected to the
Internet through a DSL modem.
* Input the DNS information if you have chosen and assigned a Static IP
Address for your camera.

DHCP:
Static IP Client:
PPPoE Settings:
Select this connection if you have a DHCP server running on your network and would like a dynamic IP address to be updated to your camera automatically.
You may obtain a static or xed IP address and other network
information from your network administrator for your camera. A static IP address will ease you for accessing your camera in the future.
IP Address: The xed IP address
Subnet Mask: The default value is “255.255.255.0.” Used to
determine if the destination is the same subnet.
Default Gateway: The gateway used to forward frames to destinations in a different subnet. Invalid gateway settings may cause the failure of transmissions to a different subnet.
Primary DNS: Primary domain name server that translates names to IP addresses.
Secondary DNS: Secondary domain name server to backup the Primary DNS.
If you are using a PPPoE connection, enable it and enter the User Name and Password for your PPPoE account. You can get this information from your Internet service provider (ISP).
Port Settings:
UPnP Settings:
You may congure a Second HTTP port that will allow you to connect to the camera via a standard web browser. The port can be
set to a number other than the default TCP ports 80. A corresponding port must be opened on the router. For example, if the port is changed to 1010, users must type “http://192.168.0.100:1010” instead of only “http://192.168.0.100”.
Enable this setting to congure your camera as an UPnP device in the network.
