YML826 Rev1 - Pan/Tilt Internet Camera

To connect the camera to an Ad-Hoc wireless workgroup, make sure to set the same wireless

channel and SSID to match with the PC/Notebook’s conﬁguration for direct wireless

communication.

• Wireless Channel: This pull-down menu provides the wireless channel for

communication. A “channel” is a range of frequencies to be used in communication

between the camera and access point in Infrastructure mode, or the camera and PC/

Notebook in Ad-Hoc mode. Select the appropriate channel from the list provided

depending on the regulatory region where the unit is sold. The default setting is at

channel 11.

• Transmission Rate: Select the data transmit rate from this pull-down menu. The default

setting is Fully Automatic.

Encryption

• WEP Encryption: Wireless network communications can be intercepted easily. WEP

(Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption method speciﬁed by the IEEE 802.11g

standard to make any intercepted communications extremely difﬁcult to interpret by

unauthorized parties. The default setting for this option is Disable.

• WEP Key Format: To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide the encryption

format ﬁrst by selecting the ASCII or HEX option, and then input the WEP key (in the

following Key 1~4 box).

ASCII input format:

ASCII format causes each character you type 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 a 64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII

characters. For example, ‘12345’. To setup an 128-bit WEP key, input

13 ASCII characters. For example, ‘1234567890123’. These character

counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104 respectively; the camera 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 a 64-bit WEP key, input 10 HEX format. For

example, ‘3132333435’, which is the same with ASCII input ‘12345’.

To setup an 128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format. For example,

‘31323334353637383930313233’, which is the same with ASCII input

‘1234567890123’. These character counts result in bit counts of 40

and 104, respectively; the Pan/Tilt Internet Camera will automatically

pad your input to a bit count of 64 or 128.

• Encrypt Data Transmissions Using: Use this pull-down menu to decide to use Key 1,

2, 3 or 4 for encryption).

• WPA-PSK: This item is used to secure your wireless network in pre-shared key mode

(8-63 ASCII or 64 HEX characters). If you enable this function, each user must enter a

pass phrase to access the network.
