Automatic Connection to Wireless Network
The WiFi Adapter is equipped with a WPS button which is designed for automatic connection
to the router. Press the WPS button on the WiFi Adapter and on the router in any order for a
few seconds. Wireless connection will be automatically established between the two.
Manual Connection to Wireless Network
The WiFi USB Adapter is a plug-and-play device that means you don’t need to install any
driver for the device to work. To manually connect GV-Box Camera, GV-Compact DVR or
GV-Video Server to wireless network, follow the steps below.
1. Connect the WiFi USB Adapter to the GV IP device.
2. Set up WLAN Configuration on the GV IP device.

A. Start the Internet Explorer browser, and enter the IP address or the domain name of
the IP device to access its Web interface.

B. From the left menu, select Network, select Wireless and select Client Mode. This
page appears.
C. Select the network type Ad Hoc or Infrastructure. The default network type is
Infrastructure.
Infrastructure: Via the Access Point to connect to the Internet. This mode
further gives wireless access to the Internet or data sharing under a previously
wired environment.
Ad-Hoc: A Peer-to-Peer mode. This mode connects to other computer with the
WLAN card, and does not need the Access Point to connect to each other.
D. Enter the Network name (SSID) of the wireless LAN group or Access Point you are
going to connect to. If you can’t specify the network name, click Access Point
Survey to detect all the available Access Points (Infrastructure mode) and wireless
stations (AD-Hoc mode) within the range of your WLAN card.

a. Click Access Point Survey. This window appears.

b. Click Select to select the router with which you want to associate.
E. Select the network authentication and data encryption in the Authentication Type
drop-down list. Your encryption settings must match those used by the Access
Points or wireless stations with which you want to associate.
Disabled: No authentication is needed within the wireless network.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): A type of data encryption. Type up to four
WEP Keys in HEX or ASCII format. Note that if you use HEX format, only digits
0-9 and letters A-F, a-f are valid.
WPAPSK-TKIP and WPA2PSK-TKIP: Type WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) for
data encryption.
WPAPSK-AES and WPA2PSK-AES: Type WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) for
data encryption.
F. Click Apply.

B. Select Wireless.

4. Select Static IP address or Dynamic IP address for LAN configuration. The default
setting is Static IP address.
Static IP address: Assign a static IP or fixed IP to the GV IP device.
Dynamic IP address: The network environment has a DHCP server that
automatically assigns a dynamic IP address to the GV IP device. This option
should only be enabled if you know which IP address the GV IP device will get
from the DHCP server, or you have obtained a domain name from the DDNS
service provider.
For users who select Static IP address:
A. Enter the GV IP device’s TCP/IP and DNS parameters in the Configure connection
parameters section.
B. Click Apply. The configuration is complete.
For users who select Dynamic IP address:
A. Select Dynamic IP address, and click Apply.

Note: If you select Dynamic IP Address, the IP address of the GV IP device assigned
by DHCP Server may change.
1. To detect the IP address, you can use the IP Device Utility on Software CD of the
GV IP device.
2. It is recommended to use DDNS service that redirects the ever-changing IP address
to a domain name. You can find the DDNS settings in the Advanced TCP/IP option
from the left menu, and instructions in the user’s manual.
