A.2 Nikon WT-2 Can’t Connect

If neither of the above has helped to get you up and running and you are

using the Nikon WT-2/2A wireless transmitter (see the next few sections

for other devices) there are a few additional steps that you can take. The

easiest method to debug this transmitter is to use the connection wizard

since it tests the values as you enter them into the camera and can tell you

exactly where the problem is occurring. This wizard will walk you through

the process of setting up the camera manually and will stop if any errors

are encountered. The procedure is outlined in the following steps, please

go through them carefully to ensure that all settings are dialed in correctly

- if you experience any error messages, please record them as they may be

necessary in later stages of the setup:

• In your camera, go to the wireless LAN menu and turn the wireless

LAN system oﬀ. When returned to the menu, press the checker-

board button and the connection wizard will be initiated.

• The wizard starts oﬀ by presenting you with a list of available net-

works. If the network that you would like to use is shown on the list,

highlight it, press right on the multicontroller to select the network

and hit the enter button to save the selection. If the selected network

has encryption, you will be prompted for the network key - follow the

directions to enter the key and you will be connected to the wireless

network. If the desired network is not on the list, or an error message

is generated then return to the computer and verify that the settings

are correct.

• Once the network has been successfully selected, you will now be pre-

sented with the enter TCP/IP settings page. This dialog should be

populated with settings provided by the conﬁguration ﬁle you loaded

earlier - if it is not, uncheck obtain automatically and enter the

values stored in the green section of the ITP control centre. When

complete, press the enter button to commit your settings. At this

stage, the camera will conﬁgure itself with the selected settings and

move on. If an error message is generated, go back and double check

that the settings have been entered correctly.

• The next step is the enter server name page. As above, the prop er

setting should be populated from the conﬁguration ﬁle loaded earlier - if
