The WT / WTA Confi gurator
The WT / WTA Confi gurator is a computer application that creates the settings fi les needed to confi gure WT-1 and WT-2 wireless transmitters for wireless networks. These settings fi les can be saved to the camera memory card and loaded into the camera using the Load settings fi le? option in the camera wireless setup menu, sparing the user the necessity of entering settings one by one in the camera menus.

The main steps involved in creating settings fi les and
loading them into the camera are as follows:

Use encryption (WEP)
of encryption (ASCII, Base 16, or TKIP), then enter the encryption key in the WEP key text box. ASCII and TKIP keys use standard letters and numbers, while base-16 (hexa­decimal) keys use only the numbers 0–9 and the letters “A–F”. The length of ASCII and base-16 keys depends on the type of encryption used: 5 ASCII or 13 hexadecimal char­acters are required for 40- and 64-bit encryption, 10 ASCII or 26 hexadecimal characters for 128-bit encryption. TKIP keys are available only with the WT-2 and may be 8 to 64 characters long. If Shared key is selected, the WT-1 will enable shared-key verifi cation to confi rm that the other devices in the network share the same key (the WT-2 auto­matically selects the type of verifi cation appropriate to the network).
