D The Antenna Always use the supplied antenna with the WT-4. Use of other antennas with this transmitter is prohibited by law. Parts of the WT-4 A The POWER LED When the WT-4 is on, the POWER LED glows green to indicate that the battery is fully charged or that an AC adapter is connected. At battery levels below 10%, it will blink green to warn that the battery requires charging. When the WT-4 is turned off, the POWER LED briefly turns yellow as the product powers down.
Supported Modes Supported Modes The WT-4 connects the camera to wireless and Ethernet networks. Photographs on the camera can then be previewed on the computer or transmitted to an ftp server or printer and the camera controlled remotely from a computer. The WT-4 supports the following modes: Mode Host Description Computer Upload new or existing Transfer mode or ftp server photographs to host. Preview the photographs in internal Thumbnail Computer memory on the computer monitor select mode before upload.
A A Ethernet Connection The camera can not connect to a wireless LAN when an Ethernet cable is connected. Before connecting to a wireless LAN, turn the WT-4 off and disconnect the Ethernet cable. No adjustments to wireless LAN settings are required when the camera is connected to a LAN by an Ethernet cable. Supported Modes FTP Servers Servers can be configured using standard ftp services available with supported operating systems, such as IIS (Internet Information Services).
Workflow Workflow When using the WT-4 for the first time, follow the steps below to set up the WT-4, install the required software, create a wireless network, and upload pictures to the computer. 1 Set up the WT-4 and install software (pp. 7–15). 1-1 Preparing the Camera 1-2 Preparing the WT-4 1-3 Installing Software 2 Configuring the Network (pp. 16–46). • See pages pp. 17–25 for information on Windows Vista. • See pages pp. 26–37 for information on Windows XP. • See pages pp.
Preparing the Camera Choosing “MTP/PTP” Before connecting the WT-4, set the camera [USB] option to [MTP/ PTP] as described below.

Glossary Glossary Ad-hoc: Devices in an ad-hoc wireless network communicate directly (“peer to peer”), without a wireless access point. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard): An encryption standard developed for use by the American government. AES has been praised for combining strong encryption with rapid processing. Auto IP (APIPA—Automatic Private IP Addressing): Allows devices in a network to automatically assign themselves unique IP addresses if no DHCP server is found on the network.
Appendices Glossary IEEE 802.11a/b/g: Wireless LAN standards proposed by the 802 committee, which develops LAN technology standards for the IEEE. IIS (Internet Information Services): Microsoft’s name for its Web server software. Notable for its close connection to Windows-based systems through Active Server Pages (ASPs). When installed as part of the operating system, IIS makes it relatively easy to build web a server.
Glossary PTP-IP (Picture Transfer Protocol over Internet Protocol): A commonly used name for the CIPA DC-005-2005 image transfer protocol for transmitting images over LANs. It represents an extension to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) used to transfer images between cameras and computers connected via USB cable. The WT-4 uses PTP-IP to communicate with host computers. Shared key: An authentication system in which WEP keys are used to establish whether a client has access to the network.
