Chapter 1: Planning Your Wireless Network
Introduction
Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera with Audio
Chapter1:PlanningYourWirelessNetwork
Introduction
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area network (LAN), except that each
computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connect to the network. Computers and other devices, such as
peripherals, in a WLAN share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name for wireless
devices.
Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure Modes
Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two different modes in which they may be set up: infrastructure
and ad-hoc. An infrastructure configuration is a WLAN and wired LAN communicating to each other through an
access point. An ad-hoc configuration is wireless-equipped computers communicating directly with each other.
Choosing between these two modes depends on whether or not the wireless network needs to share data or
peripherals with a wired network or not.
If the computers on the wireless network need to be accessed by a wired network or need to share a peripheral,
such as a printer, with the wired network computers, the wireless network should be set up in infrastructure
mode. The basis of infrastructure mode centers around an access point, which serves as the main point of
communications in a wireless network. (A wireless router can also be used because a wireless router
incorporates the capabilities of an access point.) Access points transmit data to PCs equipped with wireless
network cards, which can roam within a certain radial range of the access point. Multiple access points can be
arranged to work in succession to extend the roaming range, and can be set up to communicate with your
Ethernet (wired) hardware as well.
If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only with the other computers on the
wireless network, then the ad-hoc mode can be used. Ad-hoc mode allows computers equipped with wireless
transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other, eliminating the need for an access point.
The drawback of this mode is that, in Ad-Hoc mode, wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate
with computers on a wired network. And, of course, communication between the wireless-equipped computers is
limited by the distance and interference directly between them.
Infrastructure: configuration in which
a wireless network is bridged to a
wired network via an access point.
LAN (Local Area Network): the
computers and networking products
that make up the network in your home
or office.
Ad-hoc: a group of wireless devices
communicating directly to each other
(peer-to-peer) without the use of an
access point.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network): A group of computers and
associated devices that communicate
with each other wirelessly.

Network Layout
The PTZ Internet Camera is compatible with all 802.11g routers, such as model number WRT54G, as well as
access points, including model number WAP54G. The Camera will also communicate with network adapters,
such as the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter (model number WPC54G) for your laptop computers, Wireless-G PCI
Adapter (model numbers WMP54G) for your desktop PCs, and Wireless-G USB Adapter (model number WUSB54G)
for your computers when you want to enjoy USB connectivity.
With these, and many other Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at
www.linksys.com/international for more information about products that work with the PTZ Internet Camera.

Camera LCD Screen and Built-in Microphone
The Camera has a LCD screen that indicates the Camera’s current IP address and whether it is a fixed or dynamic
address. If the Camera uses a fixed IP address, then the screen will display the word “FIXED.” If the Camera uses
a dynamic IP address, then the screen will display the word “DHCP.”
The built-in microphone is located approximately one inch below the LCD screen, in the middle of the Camera’s
front panel. It has a range of approximately 9 feet (3 meters), depending on environmental conditions.
Camera LEDs
The Camera has four LEDs to let you know how the Camera is functioning.
POWER Amber. The POWER LED lights up when the Camera is powered on. It flashes for about 10-15
seconds while the Camera is initializing.
ACTIVITY Green. The ACTIVITY LED flashes when there is activity.
ETHERNET Green. The ETHERNETLED lights up when there is a connection to a wired network. It flashes
when data is transmitted to or received from the wired network.
WIRELESS Green. The WIRELESS LED lights up when there is a connection to a wireless network. It
flashes when data is transmitted to or received from the wireless network.

Camera Ports and Button
The Camera features three ports and a Reset button on the bottom panel.
POWER The POWER port is where you will connect the power adapter.
MIC IN The MIC IN port is where you will connect the 3.5 mm input jack of your external microphone
(optional).
ETHERNET The ETHERNET port is where you will connect the Ethernet network cable.
RESET The RESET button is what you will press if you need to reset the Camera. Insert a paper clip
into the opening next to the Ethernet port. Then press the button and hold it in for five seconds.

IMPORTANT: Resetting the Camera will erase all of
your settings, such as encryption information, and
replace them with the factory defaults. Do not reset
the Camera if you want to retain these settings.

Overview
Before you set up the Camera, connect it to a wired or wireless network. Proceed to the appropriate section for
your setup.
If you need to move the Camera from a wired network to a wireless network, or vice versa, go to this section,
“Moving the Camera to a Different Network.”
Connection to a Wired Network for Setup
1. Attach the antenna.
2. Connect the Ethernet network cable to your network switch or router.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the Camera.
4. Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the Camera.
5. Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
The Camera’s Ready LED flashes while the Camera is initializing. The Camera is ready for use when the Ready
and Ethernet LEDs are solidly lit.
Proceed to “Chapter 5: Setting up and Mounting the Wireless-G Internet Camera.”
NOTE: You MUST connect the Camera to a PC, router, or switch using the Ethernet network
