Wireless Security
Select the security method you want to use,

(all devices on your wireless network must
use the same security settings). Then follow the appropriate instructions.
WPA Personal
WPA Algorithm
. TKIP is automatically selected as the encryption method.

64 Bit Keys (10 Hex chars)
or
128 Bit
Keys (26 Hex chars)
.
Passphrase
. Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can use a Passphrase to generate them. It is case-
sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. (This Passphrase is compatible with Linksys
wireless products only. If you are also using non-Linksys wireless products, you will need to enter your WEP keys
manually on those products.) After entering the Passphrase, click the
Generate
button to create WEP key(s).
Key 1-4
. If you used a Passphrase, the WEP keys will be displayed after you have generated them. If you are not
using a Passphrase, manually enter a set of values in each field. (For 128-bit WEP, only one WEP key is
permitted.) If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal
characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal
characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” through “9” and “A” through “F”.
Authentication
. The default is set to
Open System
, for which the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key
for authentication. You can also choose
Shared Key
, when the sender and recipient use a WEP key for
authentication. This setting should match the one on your network’s access point or wireless router.
To save your changes, click the
Apply
button. To cancel your changes, click the
Cancel
button.

Administrator
Use this screen to change the administrator login settings, restore factory defaults, and upgrade firmware.
Login
Changing the default name and password is recommended to secure access to the Camera’s settings.
Login Name
. Complete this field with a name of your choice.
Password and Verify Password
. Enter your new password twice. (It should have eight or fewer characters.)
Restore Factory Defaults

Restore Factory Defaults
. To restore the Camera’s factory default settings, click the
Restore Defaults
button.
Firmware Upgrade
New firmware versions are posted at
www.linksys.com
and can be downloaded for free. If the Camera is
functioning well, there is no need to download a newer firmware version, unless that version has a new feature
that you want to use. Loading new firmware onto the Camera does not always enhance its performance.
Linksys recommends that when you upgrade the Camera’s firmware, use a computer within the Camera’s local
network. If you attempt to upgrade the Camera’s firmware from a remote location—using a computer outside of
the Camera’s local network—the upgrade will fail.
Upgrade Firmware
. To upgrade the firmware, follow these instructions:
1.
Go to
www.linksys.com
and download the firmware upgrade file for the Camera. Then extract the file.
2.
Click the
Upgrade Firmware
button.
3.
On the
Upgrade Firmware
screen, click the
Browse
button to find the extracted file, and then double-click it.
4.
Click the
Start Upgrade
button, and follow the on-screen instructions. To cancel the upgrade, click the
Cancel
button. For further help, click the
Help
tab.
