4-3 Glossary 1. What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? 802.11g is the new IEEE standard for high-speed wireless LAN communications that provides for up to 54 Mbps data rate in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g is quickly becoming the next mainstream wireless LAN technology for the home, office and public networks. 802.11g defines the use of the same OFDM modulation technique specified in IEEE 802.11a for the 5 GHz frequency band and applies it in the same 2.4 GHz frequency band as IEEE 802.11b. The 802.11g standard requires backward compatibility with 802.11b. The standard specifically calls for: A. A new physical layer for the 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, known as the extended rate PHY (ERP). The ERP adds OFDM as a mandatory new coding scheme for 6, 12 and 24 Mbps (mandatory speeds), and 18, 36, 48 and 54 Mbps (optional speeds). The ERP includes the modulation schemes found in 802.11b including CCK for 11 and 5.5 Mbps and Barker code modulation for 2 and 1 Mbps. B. A protection mechanism called RTS/CTS that governs how 802.11g devices and 802.11b devices interoperate. 2. What is the IEEE 802.11b standard? The IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN standard subcommittee, which formulates the standard for the industry. The objective is to enable wireless LAN hardware from different manufactures to communicate.
3. What is Ad-hoc? An Ad-hoc integrated wireless LAN is a group of computers, each has a Wireless LAN card, Connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. 4. What is Infrastructure? An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 5. What is BSS ID? A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID. 6. What is WEP? WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
7. What is TKIP? TKIP is a quick-fix method to quickly overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP security, especially the reuse of encryption keys. TKIP is involved in the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard, and the specification might be officially released by early 2003. 8. What is AES? AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), a chip-based security, has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information, wherever and however communicated or stored, while making more efficient use of hardware and/or software than previous encryption standards. It is also included in IEEE 802.11i standard. Compare with AES, TKIP is a temporary protocol for replacing WEP security until manufacturers implement AES at the hardware level. 9. Can Wireless products support printer sharing? Wireless products perform the same function as LAN products. Therefore, Wireless products can work with Netware, Windows 2000, or other LAN operating systems to support printer or file sharing. 10. Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN series offer the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and Access Control. Users can set it up depending upon their needs.

15. What is GI? GI stands for Guard Interval. Its a measure to protect wireless devices from crossinterference. If there are two wireless devices using the same or near channel, and they are close enough, radio interference will occur and reduce the radio resource usability. 16. What is STBC? STBC stands for Space-Time Block Coding, which is a technique used to transfer multiple copies of data by multiple antenna, to improve data transfer performance. By using multiple antennas, not only data transfer rate is improved, but also the wireless stability. 17. What is WPS? WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. It provides a simple way to establish unencrypted or encrypted connections between wireless clients and access point automatically. User can press a software or hardware button to activate WPS function, and WPS-compatible wireless clients and access point will establish connection by themselves. There are two types of WPS: PBC (Push-Button Configuration) and PIN code.

5. Software Installation

The Installation Wizard will guide you through this simple process. Below we tell you how to get it started up. The following example is for Windows Vista. The procedure is similar for Windows 2000/XP/7. 1. Insert the Edimax CD into your CD-ROM drive. It should start up automatically. If it doesn't, click on Autorun.exe in the Autorun folder on the CD. The Install Wizard will give you four options to choose from. Here you can select program you wish to install. The following installation steps are a demonstration of installing the 'Administrator Utility & Camera Viewer. Click on 'setup utility'.
The 'Install Wizard' should take you here. Click on Next to continue your installation.
Click on 'Next' to move to the next step. If you wish to install the program to an alternate location, click on Browse and select a location.
Click Next to move on to the next step or make your selections here.
Click on Install to install the program.
Click Finish to confirm the software installation.
If you have Windows Defender or other 3rd party firewall software, you may see the following or a similar message, Please click Unblock to allow your Edimax IP camera Utility to pass through the firewall. Not doing so may cause the IP camera utility to not function optimally.
A new folder named Internet Camera under All Programs will be created. Click on 'IP Cam Admin Utility' to connect to the IP camera and use the camera's functions directly.
10. After installation, the system will automatically run the Administrator Utility. On the first page, the cameras found in your network will be listed. Select the one you wish to configure and click on the Configure Camera icon.
11. You will be prompted to insert your user name and password. The default user name is admin (unchangeable), and the default password is 1234 (changeable). Click OK to continue.

12. The program will automatically detect the IP address status of your network and suggest a free IP address for the IP Camera using DHCP. You can accept the suggested address or enter the values manually. If you enter the values manually, ensure that the Subnet Mask is the same for both the camera and the PC. Since the IP Camera works through the network (TCP/IP Protocol) the IP address setting must be correct for you to access the IP camera. Click OK to apply your configuration.
6. WEB Management Interface
You can use your WEB browser (Internet Explorer 5.5 or above) to connect to the IP camera. Type the IP address (see 5.12) in the address bar of your web browser. Bookmark the address for ease of future use. Youll be prompted to insert a user name and password: User name: admin / Password: 1234
Once you're logged on, you will see the following message appear at the top of Internet Explorer. Click on the message, and click Install ActiveX Control
When you see this message, click Install. ActiveX control will be installed, allowing you to access the IP camera.
You should now be able to see the images and hear the sounds captured by the Edimax IP camera. For advanced functions, please refer to instructions in the user manual (also on CD-ROM).
