DSecurity
Although one of the benefits of a  wireless-enabled device is that it
allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data any-
where within its range, the following may occur if security is not
enabled:
• Data theft : Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmis-
sions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.
• Unauthorized access : Unauthorized users may gain access to the net-
work and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due
to the design of wireless networks , specialized attacks may allow
unauthorized access even when security is enabled.
AWi-Fi Connection Type
In addition to authentication/encryption
and password options, the  Wi-Fi connec-
tion type  menu contains the following
items:
• SSID : Choose the camera SSID (network
name). The process for entering the SSID is
the same as that for editing the password.
• Channel : The wireless channel used for wireless connections. Press  1
or  3 to choose from channels 1 through 11 and press  J to select.
• Subnet mask/DHCP server IP address: We recommend that you use the
default sub-net mask (255.255.255.0) and DHCP server IP address
(192.168.0.1).
• Reset Wi-Fi settings : Select Ye s to reset wire-
less settings to their default values.
