Frequently Asked Questions - WT-1 NIKON

How to attach the WT-1 to my Nikon camera?

Turn off the camera, remove the power contact protector, place the device on the WT-1 and turn the locking wheel in the direction indicated to secure it on the tripod socket thread. Then connect the USB cable to the camera's USB port and the WT-1.

What are the prerequisites for using the WT-1?

You need a compatible Nikon camera, an FTP server, a wireless LAN network (access point or ad-hoc) and a memory card containing the images to transfer. The WT-1 only supports connections to a local FTP server (not via the Internet).

How to configure the wireless network on the WT-1?

In the camera's Setup menu, select Wireless LAN. Set the Architecture (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc), SSID, Encryption (WEP) and Channel. Then configure the TCP/IP settings (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS) and FTP (server address, username, password).

What do the LED indicators (POWER, LINK, BUSY) mean?

POWER (green): on when the WT-1 is powered. LINK (orange): blinks to indicate network activity; steady on when connected. BUSY (green): on during data transfer. If POWER blinks, there is a connection error. If all three blink simultaneously, the WT-1 is defective.

What is the maximum range of the WT-1?

With the standard WA-S1 antenna, the range is approximately 30 meters in line of sight. With the long-range WA-E1 antenna (sold separately), the range can reach approximately 150 meters.

Can I use the WT-1 with an FTP server?

Yes, the WT-1 is designed to transfer images to an FTP server. You must configure the server address, username and password in the network settings. The FTP server must be connected to the same local network.

How to transfer images automatically after shooting?

Enable the Auto Send option in the Wireless LAN menu. Photos will be sent to the FTP server as soon as they are saved to the memory card. Make sure the transmitter is on (Transmitter set to ON).

What to do if the connection fails or the POWER LED blinks?

Check that the camera is turned on and the exposure meter is active. Check the network settings (SSID, WEP, IP address). If the POWER LED blinks alone, there is a connection error. If all LEDs blink, the WT-1 is defective and must be repaired by an authorized Nikon service center.

What is the difference between the WT-1 and the WT-1A?

The WT-1 supports 13 channels (2412–2472 MHz) and is intended for Europe, Japan and some other countries. The WT-1A supports 11 channels (2412–2462 MHz) and is intended for Canada and the United States. Operation is identical.

How to maintain the WT-1?

Keep the WT-1 dry, do not expose it to water or rain. Clean it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid high temperatures (do not leave it in a vehicle in direct sunlight). In case of problems, take it to an authorized Nikon service center.

Preparation

Ready the following items:

• D2H digital camera

• ftp server ^1

• WT-1 wireless transmitter

• wireless LAN adapter ^2

^1 Windows XP Professional computer with Internet Information Services (IIS) installed.
^2 Bridge type. Additional settings may be required when using wireless router. See documentation provided by manufacturer for details.

Building a Network

Configure the network as shown below. In this example, the wireless LAN access point is connected by a cable to the server, and the server is not connected to any other network devices.

    B --> C["FTP server"]

Configuring the Server

The following example assumes that Windows XP Professional and Internet Information Services (IIS) are already installed (IIS is included in the standard install of Windows XP Professional; for more information, contact Microsoft). Be sure to use characters supported by the WT-1 (💡 14) when specifying such settings as user ID, password, and folder names.

Entering an IP Address

Open the Network Connections control panel. Right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties from the menu that appears.

The “Local Area Connection Properties” dialog will be displayed. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties to display the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” dialog. Enter an IP address and subnet mask for the ftp server.

In this example, it is assumed that the network uses class C private IP addresses and subnet masks. Be sure that the IP address is not the same as that assigned to the wireless LAN adapter or the WT-1. For example, if the ftp server is given the IP address 192.168.1.3, the wireless LAN adapter can be assigned 192.168.1.1, and the WT-1 192.168.1.2. All addresses must be in the same class.

Creating an FTP Site

Go to Administrative Tools and open the Internet Information Services console. Right-click the Default FTP site folder and choose Properties from the menu that appears.

The “Default FTP Site Properties” dialog will be displayed. Open “Security Accounts” and select Allow Anonymous Connections and Allow IIS to control password. Make sure the default user ID (composed of “IUSR” plus the computer name) is unchanged and leave the password field blank.

Next, open "Home Directory" and select A directory located on this computer. The root directory for images uploaded to the ftp server is listed in the Local Path text box; choose a folder and check Read, Write, and Log visits.

Before proceeding to the next step, click OK to close the properties dialog.

Configuring the Wireless LAN Adapter

The minimum information needed to configure a wireless LAN adapter is listed below. Contact the manufacturer for details.

Uploading Pictures

This section describes how to upload pictures as they are taken. For best results, the WT-1 and wireless LAN adapter should be within a few meters with no obstacles between them.

1 Select On for the Wireless LAN>Transceiver option in the camera setup menu.

2 Confirm that a connection has been established. To check the connection from the camera, select Status from the Wireless LAN menu and confirm that "Connected" is displayed next to "Status." For information on what to do if the camera shows "Not connected" or "Failure," see "Troubleshooting" (34).

To check the status of the connection from the computer, right-click the Default FTP site folder and select Properties from the menu that appears. Open "FTP Site" and click Current Sessions....

Confirm that "Anonymous" is listed under "Connected Users." For information on what to do if no connection is listed, see "Troubleshooting" (34).

3 Select On for Wireless LAN>Auto send. Take a picture and confirm that the image has been uploaded to the specified folder on the ftp server.

Glossary

Ad-hoc

Devices in an ad-hoc wireless network communicate directly ("peer to peer"), without a wireless access point. The WT-1 supports an ad-hoc mode for direct wireless connection to an ftp server.

"Any" connection

Allows devices to connect to wireless network without an SS-ID. Can be used for wireless “hot spots” but is not as secure as connections that require an SS-ID.

BSS-ID (Basic Service Set ID)

All wireless devices on an ad-hoc wireless network share the same BSS-ID. The BSS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters long and is case sensitive. See also Ad-hoc.

Channel

When multiple wireless LANs with different ESS-IDs are operating on a single frequency within a given area, transmission speeds will drop. Specifying a separate channel (frequency) for each network can prevent interference and increase transmission speeds (note that all devices in the same network must be set to the same channel). In the IEEE 802.11b standard, the 2.4 GHz band is divided into 14 channels, each separated by 4 MHz.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server

Each device in a TCP/IP network requires an IP address. If a DHCP server is present on the network, IP addresses will be assigned automatically. A DHCP server will not be present on networks that consist solely of Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95 computers. DHCP may be enabled on other networks; consult the network administrator or see the manual provided with the router or operating system.

DNS (Domain Name Server)

A server that contains a database of IP addresses and host names for the machines it administers and that converts host names to IP addresses in response to queries from clients. Each DNS can also query other Domain Name Servers for addresses not listed in its database.

ESS-ID (Extended Service Set ID)

Multiple BSSs can be configured to form an ESS, allowing users to roam between wireless access points. Only devices with the same ESS-ID as a given access point can communicate with that access point. The ESS-ID may be up to thirty-two characters long and is case sensitive.

IIS (Internet Information Services)

Microsoft's name for its Web server software. Notable for its close connection to Windows-based systems through Active Server Pages (ASPs). When installed as part of the operating system, IIS makes it relatively easy to build web a server.

Gateway

A network node that acts as an entrance to another network, for example between a company network and the Internet.

Infrastructure

Devices in an infrastructure network communicate via one or more wireless access points. The WT-1 supports an infrastructure mode for connection to a wireless network via an access point.

IP address

Address given to each node in a TCP/IP network. All nodes in a TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. Private IP addresses are recommended for nodes that are part of a local network.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A network of computers located in relatively close proximity to one another. LANs generally support data transfer speeds of 10–100 Mbps.

MAC (Media Access Control) Address

A unique hardware address for each device on a network, required when sending and receiving packets.

PASV mode

PASV mode is used by clients behind firewalls, when it allows the ftp server to supply the port number.

Private IP address

An IP address that is only visible within a local network. Because packets using a private IP address can not be transmitted to another network, they are usually sent between networks via a proxy server or NAT. Private IP addresses in the range 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255 are termed "class A." Class B addresses are in the range 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255, class C addresses in the range 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255. The class of address used depends on the size of the network. Class C addresses are often used for small networks.

Protocol

A set of rules for passing information back and forth between devices in a network. By defining such elements of communication as how links are established, how receipt of a signal is acknowledged, how data are encoded, and how to handle errors, a protocol ensures that data are transmitted without loss of information.

Proxy

A server that stands between large networks and local networks or computers, typically to ensure security. One element of a firewall.

Routing

The process of choosing a route for information packets to ensure that they reach the correct destination. Devices or software that perform this task are known as “routers.”

SS-ID

An SS-ID prevents interference between devices in different networks.

Subnet mask

A mask that divides a network into subnets.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

A dual protocol consisting of a transport-layer protocol (TCP) that divides data into packets which it later reassembles, and a network protocol (IP) that handles transmission of the packets between points in the network. It can be implemented on different platforms, allowing data to be transmitted between machines with different operating systems.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

A standard for connecting peripheral devices. USB supports data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0). Devices connected via USB can be connected and disconnected with the power on (“hot plug”) and do not require separate IRQ (interrupt request) numbers, preventing conflicts with other devices.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

A privacy protocol intended to provide users of wireless networks with the same level of privacy as a wired network. When using WEP, enter the encryption key provided by the network administrator.

Wireless LAN access point

A wireless transceiver that acts as the connection between wireless devices and a wireless network.
