The Scan For Networks button appears when the Access Mode is in Exisiting
Network. This button searches for nearby Wi-Fi access points and displays a
list. The list includes the name, address, channel, signal strength, network, and
encryption types. There are also buttons which copy the selected AP
information into the configuration section for ease of use, which appear when
the Connected to Existing Network option is selected.
After performing a scan for Wi-Fi networks, the user can quickly copy the
selected network information into one of three client settings by pressing the
button in the result table. After this step, if the Wi-Fi network is using
encryption, the password must be entered into the password box in order to
connect.
Typically, this is all that is required to connect to a Wi-Fi network, as nearly all
networks supply configuration information using DHCP. However, if
necessary, the process can be done manually.
When the camera tries to connect to a Wi-Fi network, it will perform a scan
and connect to the first network that is configured in the list. For example, if
networks in both settings 1 and 2 are present, the camera will use settings 1.
There are also eight settings associated with each Wi-Fi client connection as
shown in Table 12-19 Existing Network Settings for Wi-Fi Clients.
