# Wireless LAN settings

This section describes the settings to connect the camera to mobile devices (iPad/iPhone), computers, or wireless access point via wireless LAN.

## [DIRECT] mode

Use the following procedures when accessing to the network function of the camera directly from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Select [DIRECT] in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [WIRELESS PROPERTY] → [TYPE].

Set each item in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [WIRELESS PROPERTY] as necessary.

[MAC ADDRESS]:MAC address of wireless LAN (cannot be changed)

[SSID]: Network name of the camera (SSID) (Factory setting: [AJ-PX270])

[BAND]: Setting that switches between 2 transmission methods (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) (Factory setting: [2.4GHz])(When using AJ-WM30: [2.4GHz]/When using AJ-WM50: [2.4GHz] or [5GHz])

[CHANNEL (2.4GHz)]: Channel used when set to 2.4 GHz (Factory setting: [AUTO])

[CHANNEL (5GHz)]: Channel used when set to 5 GHz (Factory setting: [AUTO])

[ENCRYPTION]: Encryption format to be used (Factory setting: [WPA2-AES])

[ENCRYPT KEY]:WPA2 encryption key (Factory setting: [01234567890123456789abcdef])

[DHCP]: Setting whether to use automatic acquisition via DHCP ([ENABLE]: Use automatic acquisition/[DISABLE]: Does not use automatic acquisition) (Factory setting: [ENABLE]) (cannot be set)

[IP ADDRESS]:IP address of the camera (Factory setting: [192.168.0.1]).

[SUBNET MASK]: Subnet mask (Factory setting: [255.255.255.0])

[DEFAULT GATEWAY]: Default gateway (Factory setting: [192.168.0.254]) (cannot be set)

[PRIMARY DNS]: Primary DNS server setting (Factory setting: [0.0.0.0]) (cannot be set)

[SECONDARY DNS]: Secondary DNS server setting (Factory setting: [0.0.0.0]) (cannot be set)

[DHCP SERVER]: Setting whether to use DHCP SERVER function ([ENABLE]: Use DHCP SERVER function/[DISABLE]: Does not use DHCP SERVER function) (Factory setting: [ENABLE])

Select [WLAN] in the main menu → [NETWORK SETUP] → [NETWORK SEL].

If the setting is changed, the camera will restart as necessary.

Select SSID from the list of the access points for mobile devices or computers and enter the password (encryption key).

Display the access point list screen in wireless setting and select [SSID] of the camera.

- Factory setting: [AJ-PX270]

When the password confirmation screen appears, enter the password (encryption key).

- Factory setting: [01234567890123456789abcdef]

Check the network connection.

When the setting is completed, confirm that network connection of mobile devices (iPad/iPhone) and computers is made properly.

Application (P2 Browser) which requires network can be used when network connect is made properly. However, if connected with [DIRECT], the FTP client function cannot be used.

NOTE

- The AJ-WM30 can only operate when the communication method is 2.4 GHz. When [BAND] is set to [5GHz], it will automatically change [BAND] to [2.4GHz] and [CHANNEL (2.4GHz)] to [AUTO] before operation.

- The startup time after turning on the power may be longer due to starting of the network.

- When you change the [NETWORK SEL] settings, the changes will not be reflected until the camera is restarted. After the settings have been changed, the setting screen termination may take time due to the restart of the network service.

- The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be correctly set.

  If the warning [CANNOT ACCESS GATEWAY!] appears after the setting screen is closed, contact the administrator of the network in use.

- IP addresses from [192.168.255.0] to [192.168.255.255] cannot be used because they are reserved by the system.

- If you do not use the default gateway and DNS, set them to [0.0.0.0].

- DHCP and DNS may not function properly depending on the network environment.
