-
Security type: Choose from WEP and No authentication (Open).
-
Security key/Passphrase: If WEP is selected for Security type, enter a security key. To enable 64-bit
encryption, enter a fi ve-character ASCII or ten-digit hexadecimal key. To enable 128-bit encryption, enter a
13-character ASCII or 26-digit hexadecimal key. ASCII keys may contain letters, punctuation, and the numbers

5: Copy the Network Profile to the Camera
Use the WT-4 setup utility to copy the network profile to the camera. Before proceeding, make sure that MTP/PTP is selected for the USB option in the camera setup menu.
6: Connecting to the ftp Server
In this step, you will establish a wireless connection between the WT-4 and the ftp server. Before connecting the WT-4, select MTP/PTP for the USB option in the camera setup menu and confirm that the host computer is running and the user is logged in.
Third-Party Security Software
Third-party security software with firewall support may block the ftp server
port, preventing access to the ftp server. This can be avoided by setting the
software to allow protocols send and receive access to TCP ports 20 and 21.
For more information, see the documentation for the software or firewall.
