030-300589 Rev. A 12 March 2009 User Guide Control Point Home Monitoring Service 6.3.3 Connecting Your 7521FF Camera to the 7502AG Control Point Your 7521FF Camera can be installed to your 7502AG either using a “wired” setup or using a “wireless” setup. A wired setup means that an Ethernet cable will be plugged in from the router to the Camera at all times. A “wireless” setup means that you will be able to relocate your Camera to another part of your home. NOTE: The typical range for a wireless setup of your Camera is 30-50 ft., and you could have issues seeing video if the recommended distance between the Camera and the router is exceeded. You can choose the installation method you want to use depending on where you want to position the camera. The following sections describe each method. 6.3.3.1 Installing the 7521FF Camera via Wireless Setup Your Control Point supports different methods for setting up a wireless connection between your 7521FF Camera and your 7502AG. One method is to use the Setup Wizard, explained later in this User Guide. Another method is to use the WPS button on the devices to establish a wireless connection. During the developmental period for an easy push-button method for securely connecting wireless devices, manufacturers were eager to deliver their own push-button methods, and the common name used was “Simple Config.” When the procedure finally became standardized, it was renamed to Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS, by the standards organization. WPS simplifies establishing wireless connections between wireless devices and your 7502AG Router. Although some devices do not support WPS, for those that do, you can use WPS to quickly connect to your 7502AG without first having to input long security keywords. Your 7521FF supports WPS and will automatically acquire the security settings of your 7502AG and establish a wireless link. If you want to use WPS, you must follow the instructions in this section, and then skip the Camera setup instructions in the Setup Wizard, explained in section 7.5 of this User Guide. To install the 7521FF Camera using WPS, please follow these steps: 1. Position the Camera so that it is located within three feet of the 7502AG. 2. Plug the small end of the 7521FF power supply cord into the power connector marked Power/5V on the back of the 7521FF Camera. Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket or a power strip. 3. Check to see if the Power LED on the front of the 7521FF Camera is solid green. Solid green indicates the Camera is powered on. 4. Press the WPS button on the top of the 7502AG for approximately three seconds. Wait five seconds, and then press the WPS button on the back of the 7521FF Camera for approximately three seconds. Then, wait a moment for the 7521FF Camera to establish a wireless link to the 7502AG. While the connection is being established, the WIFI LED on the 7502AG will be flashing green, and the Network LED on the 7521FF will be flashing green. 5. Once the Camera has established a wireless link to the 7502AG, check the WIFI LED on the 7502AG—it should be solid green, indicating that a link is established. 6. Check the Network LED on the 7521FF Camera—it will be flashing green, indicating that the Camera functioning properly. If you remove power from the Camera, you do not need to repeat these steps when you power it on again, you can simply power on the Camera and wait for the Camera to establish a wireless link to the 7502AG.
