Setting up the WFT-E1A on Windows XP Home or Professional – Wired Lan with a Router
This document will take you through the process of setting up the WFT-E1A file transmitter in
conjunction with a PC running Windows XP Home or Professional Edition.
In this example we have used the following test specifications:
Canon Eos 1DS Mk II Camera Body
Canon WFT-E1A Wireless File Transmitter
Standard RJ45 to RJ45 Network Cable
Belkin F5D52314 4-Port Cable/DSL Router
Pentium III 1Ghz PC with 512MB Ram
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet 10/100 LAN Card installed in PC
Windows XP Home or Professional Edition
Filezilla FTP Server Version 0.9.11
Three Stages to Complete Setup
There are three stages to setting up the WFT-E1A with your PC.
1. Checking your Network Settings on your computer and router
2. Setting up your FTP Server on your computer
3. Setting up your WFT-E1A to talk to your router and FTP Server
Stage 1 – Checking your Network Settings on your computer and router
Stage 1 will involve installing a router on your PC. The router should come with a manufacturer’s
installation disk that installs the necessary software for the router.
If you experience difficulties installing your router on your PC you should contact your router
manufacturer for assistance with its installation.
We will start the network set up with the assumption that you have installed your wired LAN router and
it is working correctly, and that your PC is connected to the router via an RJ45 network cable plugged
into your Ethernet card in your PC.
