Completing the Recorder’s Network Settings• A wireless password format. WEP passwords may be hexadecimal (a combination ofletters from A-F and numbers from 0-9), or alphanumeric (a combination of lettersfrom A-Z and numbers from 0-9). If your network has both an alphanumeric and ahexadecimal password, we strongly recommend you use the hexadecimal password.• A wireless password. It does not matter whether the letters of a hexadecimalpassword are uppercase or lowercase, but for alphanumeric passwords, capitalizationis important. For example, if the password is “MyPassword,” then entering“mypassword” will not work. Some hexadecimal passwords have only numbers.• A level of wireless encryption. If you specify an alphanumeric password, you mustalso specify a level of wireless encryption. Recorders are compatible with 40, 64, 104,and 128-bit encryption; they are not currently compatible with 256-bit encryption.Choose a format or select “The wireless network doesn’t use a password.” If you select“The wireless network doesn’t use a password,” you will see the Confirm Settings screen,described on page 124.Wireless Password — Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal• Hexadecimal (preferred).
