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.

3.2 Canada Certification Notice
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operations and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate
Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specification. This is
confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration
was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is 0.0.
The Ringer Equivalence Number that is assigned to each piece of terminal equipment provides an indication of the
maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface
may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence
Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the
local Telecommunication Company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation
of service in some situations. Connection to a party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public
utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure that the installation of this
equipment (Model 7502AG) does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If you experience trouble with this equipment (Model 7502AG), do not try to repair the equipment yourself. The
equipment cannot be repaired in the field and must be returned to the manufacturer. Repairs to certified equipment
should be coordinated by a representative, and designated by the supplier. Contact your service provider for
instructions. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.
Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone
lines, and internal, metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

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.

Check to see if the Power LED on the front of the 7521FF Camera is solid green. Solid green indicates the
Camera is functioning properly.
4.
Check to see if the Ethernet LED on the 7502AG is solid green. Solid green indicates that an Ethernet
connection is established.
6.3.4 Connecting a Z-Wave Adapter to Your 7502AG Control Point
This section describes how to connect a Z-Wave adapter to your 7502AG.
Z-Wave® is a wireless communications standard designed for home automation, specifically to remote control
applications in residential and light commercial environments. The technology has been standardized by the Z-Wave
Alliance, an international consortium of manufacturers that oversees interoperability between Z-Wave products and
enabled devices. Using a Z-Wave adapter allows you to control home electronic devices such as a lighting,
appliances, entertainment systems, or any device in your home that runs on electricity. Once you have installed your
Z-Wave adapter, attached a device, and setup your Control Point service, you can access your service from your
home, office, mobile phone, or wherever you have Internet access, allowing you to control the device locally or
remotely though your Control Point User Interface.
NOTE: Z-Wave adapters are not included with your kit; however, they can be purchased from computer hardware
retailers.
For example, you can connect your Z-Wave adapter to your 7502AG as explained in the following steps. Then plug
a device—a lamp for example—into your Z-Wave adapter. The Z-Wave adapter will connect to your 7502AG
wirelessly. This setup enables you to power on and power off your lamp both at home and away from home using
your Control Point service. Details on setting up your Control Point service will be explained later in this User
Guide.
IMPORTANT: After you plug a device into your Z-Wave adapter, make sure the device remains powered on so
that you can control the device using your Control Point service.
To install the Z-Wave adapter and connect to the 7502AG, please follow these steps:
1.
Plug the Z-Wave adapter into an AC wall socket or a power strip.
2.
Press the Z-Wave button on the back of the 7502AG to allow the Z-Wave adapter to connect wirelessly to the
7502AG.
3.
Check to see if the LED on the Z-Wave adapter is solid green. Solid green indicates that the adapter is
functioning properly.
4.
Check to see if the Z-Wave LED on the 7502AG is solid green. Solid green means the Z-Wave adapter has
connected to your 7502AG.
