Network Name: (for Wireless Internet Camera only) This field is used to setup which wireless network (ESS-ID Extended Service Set ID) DCS-1000W 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 a blank space (NULL String); this default setting will let the Internet Camera connect to any access point under the infrastructure network mode. To connect the Internet Camera to a specific access point on the network make sure that you set the ESS-ID of the Internet Camera to correspond with the access point's ESS-ID. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation are not allowed) in the Network Name box. To connect the Internet Camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup make sure that you set the same wireless channel and ESS-ID 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: The Internet Camera supports two ad-hoc modes (802.11 ad-hoc mode and proprietary ad-hoc mode). Which option of the ad-hoc mode required depends on the operation of your Internet Camera. It depends on which ad-hoc mode is supported by your wireless card driver on the PC/Notebook. Some drivers supports both modes, however, some drivers 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 modes (802.11 mode and proprietary mode) and select the mode that can communicate with each other. Wireless Channel: (for Wireless Internet Camera only) The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A "channel" is a range of frequencies to be used in communication between the Internet Camera and Access Point in infrastructure mode or the Internet Camera and PC/Notebook in Adhoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the regulatory region in which the unit is sold. The default setting is channel 11. 20

Note:
The Internet Camera supports two ad-hoc modes (802.11 ad-hoc mode and proprietary
ad-hoc mode).
Which option of the ad-hoc mode required depends on the operation
of your Internet Camera.
It depends on which ad-hoc mode is supported by your
wireless card driver on the PC/Notebook. Some drivers supports both modes, however,
some drivers 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 modes (802.11 mode and proprietary mode) and select the mode that
can communicate with each other.
Wireless Channel:
(for Wireless Internet Camera only)
The pull down menu provides the wireless channel for communication. A “channel” is a
range of frequencies to be used in communication between the Internet Camera and
Access Point in infrastructure mode or the Internet Camera and PC/Notebook in Ad-
hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided depending on the
regulatory region in which the unit is sold. The default setting is channel 11.
The default Network Name is a blank space (NULL String); this default setting will let the
Internet Camera connect to any access point under the infrastructure network mode.
To connect the Internet Camera
to a specific access point on the network make sure
that you set the ESS-ID of the Internet Camera to correspond with the access point’s
ESS-ID. Type any string up to 32 characters long (spaces, symbols, and punctuation
are not allowed) in the Network Name box.
To connect the Internet Camera to an Ad-hoc wireless workgroup make sure that you
set the same wireless channel and ESS-ID 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).
