Host Name

Enter the hostname you registered.

User Name

Enter the user name that used to login the DDNS web site.

Password

Enter the password of your account.

Wireless Interface: (ICA-100W only)

Connection Mode:

Use the Connection Mode to determine the type of wireless communication for ICA100W. There are three choices of Infrastructure mode, 802.11 Adhoc mode and

Adhoc mode. The default setting for the Connection Mode is Infrastructure. Note: Keep in mind after setting the Wireless Interface, making sure that the Slide

Switch on the rear panel is positioned to either LAN/WLAN or WLAN setting for the wireless communication to take effect.

Network Name:

This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service Set ID) ICA-100W is to be connected for communication. The ESS-ID is a unique identifier shared among all points in a wireless network environment. The default Network Name is blank space (NULL String), this default setting will let ICA-100W connect to ANY access point under the infrastructure network mode. To connect ICA-100W to a specific access point on the network make sure to set the ESS-ID of ICA-100W to correspond with the access point’s ESS-ID for communication. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box.

To connect ICA-100W to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup make sure to set the same wireless channel and ESSID to match with the PC/Notebook wireless channel and ESS-ID for direct wireless communication under the Ad-hoc wireless workgroup (ad-hoc and 802.11 ad-hoc modes).

Note : ICA-100W ad-hoc mode supports two modes (802.11 ad-hoc mode and proprietary ad-hoc mode). Which option should be chosen depends on which adhoc mode is supported by your wireless card driver on the PC/ Notebook. Some driver supports both modes, however, some driver support only one of the modes. The names of each ad-hoc mode may not be consistent between each wireless card vendor therefore you may need to try each of the ad-hoc mode (802.11 mode and proprietary mode) and select the mode that can communicate with each other.

Wireless Channel:

The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between ICA-100W and Access Point in infrastructure mode or ICA-100W and PC/Notebook in Ad-hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the regulatory region that the unit is sold. The default setting is at channel 11.

Encryption WEP Key:

Wireless network communications are easily intercepted. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method specified by the IEEE 802.11b standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difficult to interpret by unauthorized parties. To enable WEP Encryption, first decide which WEP key format will be applied.

PC Configuration

Click on ASCII or HEX check box to select input format as ASCII format or HEX format, and then input WEP key. To Confirm the WEP key you must enter the data once again in the Confirm WEP Key field.

ASCII input format:

ASCII format causes each character 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 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters, for example, ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII characters, for example, ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; ICA-100W 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 64-bit WEP key, input 10 HEX format, for example, ‘3132333435’, this is the same with ASCII input ‘12345’. To setup 128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format, for example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, this is the same with ASCII input ‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; ICA-100W will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.

On the Confirm WEP Key field, input the same characters as the Encryption Code field. Make sure the Encryption Code is the same with the access point’s encryption code that ICA-100W is to be connected under Infrastructure mode. Your PC/Notebook’s encryption code also needs to be setup the same with ICA100W's encryption code under either Infrastructure mode or Ad-hoc mode.

The default setting for the Encryption Key is Disable therefore, to secure the wireless transmission be sure to Enable the Encryption Key by entering the relevant data.

Note: Carefully input Encryption Code, any error setting will cause communication link to fail.

LED Control:

The LED control allows user to setup the LED illumination as desired. This feature provides the flexibility when surveillance activity is ON.

There are three options as follows:

Normal

Power - Steady On of the LED indicator. LAN - Steady On of the LED indicator. When LAN activity is present the LED indica-

tor will flash steadily.

OFF

Power - LED indicator is off LAN - LED indicator is off

Dummy

Power - Steady On of the LED indicator. LAN - Steady On of the LED indicator with random flashing.

The default setting for the LED control is at Normal. When you have configured the LED control the correct illumination will set in after 1 minute.

Broadband Router User Guide

Note: This function is built-in to the LED indicators to add extra capabilities. The three options allow the Administrator to configure and camouflage the illumination for the LED indicator to falsify the monitoring status. In Normal Mode the LED indicator functions as normally. Under Off Mode the LED indicators are both off however, it is still monitoring the activity. In Dummy Mode the LED indicators operate in monitoring condition but monitoring activity is off or on.

Loading ActiveX From:

This field is used to specify the location of Xplug Control (ActiveX) plug-in program. Enter the information as required in .ocx format, for example: http://www.<your com- pany>.com/xplug.ocx where <your company> must be replaced with your company’s DNS name.

Open Second Port:

The Web Server field allows settings to open a second port for ICA-100 series. This will permit users IP Sharing Gateways to support multiple Internet Cameras. By default Port 80 is always opened for ICA-100 series Web Server access. Select

“Yes” and input the second port value. For example: If you have 5 Internet Cameras to be installed, each with an IP address from

192.168.0.101

192.168.0.102

192.168.0.103

192.168.0.104

192.168.0.105 You can open the second port for each Internet Camera from port 81 to Port 85 as

illustrated below: Internet Camera 1 – IP 192.168.0.101, second web port 81 Internet Camera 2 – IP 192.168.0.102, second web port 82 Internet Camera 3 – IP 192.168.0.103, second web port 83 Internet Camera 4 – IP 192.168.0.104, second web port 84 Internet Camera 5 – IP 192.168.0.105, second web port 85 You also need to setup your DSL gateway for Port Mapping.
