TIP: About IP address
An IP address is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating in a LAN. When the transceiver’s DHCP setting is set to ON, the DHCP server assigns a dynamic IP address to your transceiver. Therefore, entering Network Name is recommended because the PC’s OS has to match the IP address each time you transfer a picture to the transceiver.

NOTE:
If you cannot transfer the picture, check the following:

On the transceiver

The transceiver is turned ON.
You cannot transfer the picture if the transceiver is in the Standby mode.
The transceiver and PC are connected to the same LAN.
The transceiver’s firmware is the latest.
An SD card or microSD card is inserted into the transceiver.
The transceiver is in a normal operating mode.
The transceiver cannot receive the picture in special modes, such as the firmware update mode, clone mode, setting save mode, import or export mode, or touch screen calibration mode.
Operate the transceiver following to a displayed dialog.
