FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The Wireless Transmitter (WT-2A) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the Wireless Transmitter (WT-2A) has been shown to be 0.267 W/kg at Head.

This device should not be co-located or operated with any other antenna or transmitter.

CAUTION

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by Nikon Corporation may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

^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.

graph LR
    A["WT-2"] -->|Wireless LAN access point| B["LAN cable"]
    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-2 📋 26) when specifying such settings as user ID, password, and folder names.

Entering an IP Address

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

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 network uses class C private IP addresses and subnet masks. Be sure IP address differs from addresses assigned to wireless LAN adapter and WT-2. For example, if ftp server is assigned 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.1 can be assigned to adapter and 192.168.1.2 to WT-2. All addresses must be in same class.

Creating an FTP Site

Go to the Performance and Maintenance>Administrative Tools control panel and open the Internet Information Services console. Right-click the Default FTP site folder and choose Properties from the menu that appears. In the “Default FTP Site Properties” dialog, open “FTP Site” and enter a TCP Port number. The port number is normally 21.

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.

Glossary

Ad-hoc

Devices in an ad-hoc wireless network communicate directly ("peer to peer"), without a wireless access point. The WT-2 supports an ad-hoc mode for direct wireless connection to a computer or 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.

Auto IP (APIPA—Automatic Private IP Addressing)

Allows devices in a network to automatically assign themselves unique IP addresses if no DHCP server is found on the network. Auto IP uses addresses from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. These addresses are neither global nor private but are reserved for Auto IP.

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/g 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.

Gateway

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

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.

Infrastructure

Devices in an infrastructure network communicate via one or more wireless access points. The WT-2 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.

PTP/IP (Picture Transfer Protocol over Internet Protocol)

An image transfer for transmitting images over wireless LANs. It represents an extension to the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) used to transfer images between cameras and computers connected via USB cable.

SS-ID (Service Set ID)

An SS-ID prevents interference between devices in different networks. See BSS-ID, ESS-ID.

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.

TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)

An encryption method which uses dynamic keys that change periodically or after a specified amount of data have been transmitted, making it more secure that WEP, which uses fixed keys.

UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

A fast but unreliable transport layer transmission protocol using the DSI model.

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.
