- Operating Mode

Devices in a wireless network are set up to either communicate

indirectly through a central place -- an Access Point (AP); or directly,

one to the other. The prior one is called "Infrastructure Mode" and the

other one is called "Ad Hoc Mode” (also referred as peer-to-peer).

Ad Hoc Mode does not require an Access Point. It is easier to set

up, especially in a small or temporary network.

NOTE: You may select either mode for your wireless network;

however, all devices communicating directly with each other

must operate in the same mode.

- Choose A Wireless Network

This function enables the unit to scan for available wireless network

connections in the surrounding area and list them on the table,

shown as below figure:

operating mode; “ESSID” indicates the name of the wireless network

found; and “Encrypt” indicates whether the transferring data has

been encrypted.

Move the cursor to the desired wireless network and press ENTER to

select it. Once you select a wireless network, some related items,

such as <Operating Mode>, <Network Name> and <Data

- Network Name (ESSID)

This item is used for setting the name of a wireless network. The set

name will be shared by every member of the wireless network. Note

that the Network Name should be one word without space.

Follow these steps to set the name of a wireless network.

• In the <Wireless Network Setup> Menu, move the cursor to

- Network Authentication

For additional security on the wireless network, the Authentication

type can also be set when Encryption is enabled.

If <Shared> is chosen, your Access Point will not be available on the

wireless network except to those wireless clients that share the same

WEP (short for Wired Equivalent Privacy) key.

If <Open> System is chosen, only those wireless clients with the

same WEP key will be able to communicate on the wireless network,

but the Access Point will be visible to all devices on the network.

NOTE: Wired Equivalent Privacy is a security protocol for

WLANs defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP aims to

provide security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it

is protected when the data is transmitting from one end point

to another.

- Data Encryption

This function is used to translate the data into a secret code. Data

encryption is the most efficient way to achieve data security. To read

an encrypted file, you must have access to a secret key or password

that enables you to decrypt it.

Once you enable this function, you have to specify the secret key

level (64 bits or 128 bits) and key index.

Page 27

- Data Encryption Level

This item allows you to select the data privacy algorithm, including 64

or 128 bits WEP type. If you select 64 or 128 bits WEP type, a set of

WEP key will be generated. 128 bits WEP type provides higher

secure level than 64 bits WEP type.

If <64bits> is chosen, then 10 hexadecimal digits can be entered for

<Enter Network Key>; and 26 hexadecimal digits for <128bits>.

NOTE: A hexadecimal digit values in the range of 0~9, A~F

and a~f. e.g. abcde12345.

- Key Index

Key index refers to the location where the secret key is stored. You

can select from 1 to 4. The option you select here should be

corresponding to Wireless USB Adapter’s setting.

PC Monitor is used in the example above. In the <Wrong Setting>, the Title Position is set

to <Fit BNC> instead of <Fit VGA>. Since it is not the right setting, the titles of CH1, CH5,

Normal PPS (Picture per Second) is used to set the recording rate for normal

status. Please note that the normal PPS for all channels can be added up to

the maximum PPS for each Record mode. To increase one channel’s PPS,

you may have to reduce others’ first. Event PPS is not restricted to this rule,

since a smart event calculating program of the unit will handle the total PPS to

meet the maximum PPS with a correct weighting. For example, if channel 1

is set to event mode with 30PPS, the remaining 30 PPS will be equally

distributed to other 15 channels, which means each channel will be set to 2

PPS.

 Normal Qlty

The item is used to set the picture size for normal status recording. The

available options are listed as follow: <Low>, <Fair>, <Mid>, <High> and

<Best>.

 Event Max PPS
