To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of the HNC300 or HNC320G, the network administrator has an exclusive privilege to access the cameras’ System Administration to change settings and control requirements that allow entry and authorized privileges for all users. The HNC300 and HNC320G support multi-level password protection. Access to the cameras is restricted to defined users only, who have a "User Name" and "User Password" that has been assigned by the administrator.

Administrators can release a public user name and password so that when remote users access the HNC300 or HNC320G, they will have access to view the images transmitted by the cameras.

Note:

When the HNC300 or HNC320G is used for the first time, it is highly recommended that the administrator set the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" to restrict users’ access to the cameras since the Default settings are the Null String (i.e., the default Admin ID and Admin Password are blank). Once the ID and Password are defined, only the administrator has access to manage the cameras. This operation should be performed as soon as possible since the security features of the HNC300 and HNC320G will not be enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" are defined.

20

This section describes the web configuration procedures for the HNC300 and HNC320G.

Wireless

Click on Wireless to the right of the text “Internet Camera” to configure the wireless LAN settings for your wireless camera.

Wireless Interface

x Connection Mode: Use this option to determine the type of wireless communication for your camera. There

are two choices: Infrastructure mode and Ad-Hoc mode. The default setting is Infrastructure.

x SSID: The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name assigned to the wireless network. Clicking on “Site

Survey” will auto-detect and display the SSID of the wireless network in this box (it displays default initially). This default setting will let the camera connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode. To connect the camera to a specific access point on the network, please make sure to set the SSID of the camera to correspond with the access point’s SSID for communication. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the SSID box.

45

To connect the camera to an Ad-Hoc wireless workgroup, make sure that you set the same wireless channel and SSID to match with the PC/Notebook’s configuration for direct wireless communication.

x Wireless Channel: This pull-down menu allows you to select the appropriate wireless channel for

communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between the camera and access point in Infrastructure mode, or the camera and PC/Notebook in Ad-Hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided (depending on the regulatory region where the unit is sold). The default setting is at channel 11.

x Transmission Rate: Select the data transmit rate from this pull-down menu. The default setting is Fully

Automatic.

WEP Encryption

x WEP Encryption: Wireless network communications can be intercepted easily. WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11g standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties. The default setting for this option is Disable. But it is recommended that you either enable WEP encryption or utilize the more advanced form of encryption, WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings are described in the section near the bottom of this page.

x WEP Key Format: To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide the encryption format first by selecting the

ASCII or HEX option, and then input the WEP key (in the following Key 1 - 4 box).

ASCII input format:

ASCII format causes each character you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value. All

unaccented upper- and lower-case Western European characters that can be input through your keyboard's typing zone are valid. To setup a 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters. For example, ‘12345’. To setup a 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII characters. For example, ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104 respectively; the camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.

HEX input format:

Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be interpreted as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16) notation. Only the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup a 64-bit WEP key, input 10 characters in HEX format. For example, ‘3132333435’ (which is the same as an ASCII input of ‘12345’). To set up a 128-bit WEP key, input 26 characters in HEX format. For example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, (which is the same with ASCII input ‘1234567890123’). These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the wireless network camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.

x Encrypt Data Transmissions Using: Use this pull-down menu to decide whether to use Key 1, 2, 3 or 4 for

encryption).

x WPA-PSK: This item is used to secure your wireless network in pre-shared key mode (8-63 ASCII or 64 HEX

characters). If you enable this function, each user must enter a pass phrase to access the network.

46

Advanced Setting: In this field, you can configure more advanced settings.

x Beacon Interval: This option defines the time interval between two images sent in succession. x Preamble: A preamble is a signal used in wireless environments to synchronize the transmission timing,

including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter. Please NOTE that if you want to change the Preamble type from Long to Short, you will need to check the access point’s settings.

x Authentication Type: Open System communicates the key across the network. Shared Key allows

communication only with other devices with identical WEP settings. The default setting is Both.

47

Network

Click on Network to the right of the text “Internet Camera” to configure the LAN settings for your camera.

TCP/IP:

x IP Address Mode: This field provides you with three options. They are as follows:

Fixed IP – You can select this option and enter the IP address directly. The default settings are:

x IP Address – 192.168.0.20 x Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0 x Default Gateway – 0.0.0.0

Dynamic Address (DHCP) – If your network uses a DHCP server, you may select this option. According to this setting, the camera will automatically be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. Once you click “Save” at the bottom of the page, wait for the camera to reboot (this could take up to one minute). After the camera has finished rebooting, you can locate the camera’s new IP address via the camera’s Setup Wizard utility. The new IP address should appear under the “Current IP Address” heading in the utility. (If you have multiple cameras on the network, you may need to test the newly assigned IP addresses to locate the camera you have just configured.) PLEASE NOTE: If you want to be certain of your camera’s IP address at all times, “Fixed IP” is the preferred option.
