• Next select the proper region from the “Region code”
dropdown menu as shown. In this guide we will use
“USA (FCC)”
• Select the “Scan” button. Once the wireless network
scan is complete you will see a list of available
wireless networks with which to establish
communications. Select the wireless access point to
which you wish to connect. This will auto-fill the SSID
menu with the Service Set Identifier of the router you
selected.
o NOTE: NBC-W cameras will communicate
to 802.11 B and G routers using WPA and
WPA2 encryption.
o If there are multiple routers detected, best
practices dictate that the routers should be
at least 6 channel numbers apart to prevent
interference in communication.
o If the wireless router you are working with is
in hidden mode you can manually enter the
SSID and PSK.
• Enter the “pass key” to access the wireless router in
the PSK menu as shown.
o NOTE: The wireless router you are
connecting to must have security enabled
for the NBC camera to connect.
• Select the “Save” button and immediately
disconnect the Ethernet cable from the camera!
Once you select “Save” the camera will reboot and
the network changes will take effect. The camera will
not function in wireless mode while an Ethernet
cable is attached. If the camera does not reboot, you
must cycle power.
Step 3: Validating wireless communication
• Disconnect your physical network connection and ensure your PC is connected to the desired wireless network. Close the
Configuration Manager application and re-open it. This will ensure that the application’s detection beacon is using the wireless
network and not the wired network.
• Right-click the camera’s icon in the “Network” or “Devices” tab and select “Show in Web Browser”. This should open the
camera’s web page.
• From the Web Browser you can mouse over the “WLAN” menu in the top right hand corner. This will display the current signal
strength of your wireless network to the camera.
