will be changed to the new administrator name and password. The new 
administrator name and password will not overwrite user names and 
passwords for cameras that have already been registered. You will continue to 
be able to use the existing user names and passwords for those local cameras. 
To re-register those cameras with the new administrator name and password, 
see page 134.
• If you aren't planning to access a camera with a computer, it is not necessary 
to set an administrator name and password.
Wireless Settings
Change the wireless settings for the BL-WV10A.
SettingDescription
Wireless ModeChoose either repeater or access point mode. When the BL-
WV10A is connected to a BB-HGW700A wirelessly, Quick 
Setup will automatically change this setting to repeater mode.
Wireless 
FormatChoose from 802.11b, 802.11g only or 802.11b/g.
SSIDSet the identifier for the wireless network local in use.
SSID Stealth 
ModeChoose either [Enabled] or [Disabled].
To make wireless LAN networks easier to detect, the network 
identifier, or SSID, is regularly transmitted. Turning the stealth 
features off will allow the network to be easily detected, but 
unauthorized users may also attempt to access the network as 
a result, resulting in a possible security issue. Turning the 
stealth features on will deny access through ANY key, making 
the network harder to detect.

Note
• Use the same encryption key number and type for any wireless terminal to be 
connected.
Note
• To register a BL-C30A, you will need to specify 2 MAC addresses. Choose the 
MAC address indicated on the base of the BL-C30A and one from the following 
table based on the last digit in the BL-C30A's MAC address.
For example, if the MAC address for the BL-C30A is 00:80:F0:54:C0:C4, you 
should specify 00:80:F0:54:C0:C4 and 00:80:F0:54:C0:C5.
Certain changes may require the BL-WV10A to restart.ChannelThe communications channel to be used can be chosen from 
either AUTO or a number between 1 and 11.
Choosing AUTO will allow the BL-WV10A to automatically 
detect an available channel at launch. If the quality of the 
connection is not, you can manually choose another channel 
as well.
EncryptionChoose to turn encryption either on or off.
Sets an encryption key when encryption is turned on.
Encryption 
KeySets an encryption key when encryption is turned on.
Up to 4 encryption keys can be set in advance.
Allowable keys:
Choose from encryption keys 1 through 4 to use with 
encryption.
Key types:
The types of encryption keys are 64 bit (10 hexadecimal digits 
or 5 letters), 128 bit (26 hexadecimal digits or 13 letters), or 152 
bit (32 hexadecimal digits or 16 letters). The level of security 
increases with the number of bits, but there may be a slight 
decrease in network speed as a result.
Keys 1 through 4:
Enter an encryption key that corresponds in length to the type 
selected.
MAC Address 
FilteringChoose to either turn MAC address filtering (to specify the 
addresses of connected devices) on or off. Turning it on will 
allow you to specify the MAC addresses of the devices which 
are allowed to connect. Up to 16 address can be specified.
