AXIS 207/207W Installation Guide
AXIS 207W wireless connection
Once the AXIS 207W has been installed on your network, the wireless settings can be
configured. These settings should always (i.e. both during installation and at all other times) be
configured/changed in the camera first and in the wireless access point secondly. This ensures
that the camera is always accessible when making changes.
The AXIS 207W automatically senses the available network connections, and only allows one
of these to be active at a time. Connecting a network cable disables the wireless connection.
Using a wired connection ensures greater secrecy while making these settings.
Open the wireless settings from Setup > System Options > Network > Wireless. These settings
can also be reached from the Basic Configuration menu.
Status of Wireless Networks
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 AXIS 207W
cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access point.
• Mode - An Access Point (Master) or Ad-Hoc device.
• Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the security types
supported by the AXIS 207W.
• 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.
Wireless Settings
These settings control how the AXIS 207W 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 AXIS 207W 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 AXIS 207W will attempt to access the nearest unsecured
network.
Note:
SSID is sometimes written as ESSID.
