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 congure 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
congured to allow incoming
FTP trafc (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 specied settings have been selected,
click the Congure WT-1/WT-2/WFT-E1 link to
begin the process of conguring 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 congure this adapter to operate with your transmitter. As such,
if you switch to using another adapter you should change your selection in the
‘Congure Adapter’ entry in the ITP tray menu to ensure that these features
continue to operate.
