Step 9
Step 9
Step 8
Now that the installation process is complete, ITP is now set up and opperational on your computer. Your next task is to congure the camera so that it knows how to communicate with your computer. To begin this process, double click on the ITP tray icon (shown above) in order to launch the Control
Centre interface.
Step 10
Firewalls
Firewalls are designed to protect computers from outside threats. One of the mechanisms used to do this is to block any connection that does not originate from the computer/network. For normal users this typically isn’t a problem as the tasks they perform are initiated by the user.
These image transmitters work in a different manner, however. When an image is ready to be transmitted, the camera is the one that initiates the connection. As such, in their default configuration,
most rewalls will attempt to
prevent this action from taking place. When that happens, the camera will be unable to connect to your computer.
If you are using rewall software
other than the one supplied with Windows XP you may need to perform additional steps. In order for the camera to function
correctly, the rewall must be congured to allow incoming FTP trafc (TCP/IP port 21). The
way that you do this depends
on the rewall being used, so
please read the instructions that came with it.
Once the Control Centre interface comes up, enter the wireless settings that you are currently using in the blue section. Please refer to the settings used in your access point/router for the correct values.
Once the specied settings have been selected,
click the Congure WT-1/WT-2/WFT-E1 link to
begin the process of conguring your camera.
Follow the provided directions to load these
settings onto a memory card.
Selecting your wireless network adapter.
During the installation process, you are prompted to select the network adapter used for your transmitter. Whenever ITP is started, it will automatically take steps to congure this adapter to operate with your transmitter. As such, if you switch to using another adapter you should change your selection in the ‘Congure Adapter’ entry in the ITP tray menu to ensure that these features continue to operate.
