Axis 207MW Manuale Utente

These settings should always be made firstly in the camera and in the wireless access point 

secondly. This ensures that the camera is always accessible when making changes. 

Using a wired connection and/or HTTPS ensures greater secrecy while making these 

settings.

This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will 

not appear unless the camera is associated with it. The network currently associated to is 

shown in blue. A network using unsupported security is shown in grey. The following 

information is provided:

• SSID - The name of a wireless network (or ad-hoc device). If the same name occurs several 

times this means that several access points for that network were found. The camera 
cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access point.

• Mode - Shows if the network type is Master (access point or router) or Ad-Hoc (another 

client). 

• Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the security types 

supported by the camera.

• Channel - Shows the wireless channel currently in use.
• Signal strength - Shows the signal strength.
• Bit rate - Shows the bit rate in Mbit/s. This can only be shown for the access point 

currently in use. Note that the bit rate shown is the current rate, and that this value may 
vary over time.

These settings control how the camera interacts with the wireless network. Apart from 

identifying the wireless network, it is also possible to enable wireless encryption.

SSID - This is the name of the wireless network the camera is configured for. The field 

accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The name must be exactly the same as that used 

in the wireless access point or the connection will not be established. 

Leaving this field blank means the camera will attempt to access the nearest open network. 

SSID is sometimes written as ESSID. 

Network type - Setting this to Master means the camera will attempt to access the nearest 

open access point. The Ad-hoc option allows the camera to connect to other wireless 

devices (clients). 
Note that using Ad-hoc settings means that WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption will not be 

available (see below).
