Appendix A Appendix A: Troubleshooting This appendix consists of two parts: “Common Problems and Solutions” and “Frequently Asked Questions.” This appendix provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the Wireless-N Internet Home Monitoring Camera. Read the description below to solve your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys website at www.linksysbycisco.com.
Troubleshooting Appendix A Frequently Asked Questions Can I view video using a Macintosh or Netscape Navigator? The Camera is designed for computers running a Windows operating system and Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher. You cannot view video on a Macintosh. If you only have Netscape, you can view video using the Camera Utility. See “Chapter 3: Installing and Using the Camera Utility.” Can I directly connect the Camera to wired and wireless networks at the same time? No.
Appendix A Troubleshooting What IEEE 802.11g features are supported? The product supports the following IEEE 802.11g functions: •• CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge protocol •• OFDM protocol •• Multi-Channel Roaming •• Automatic Rate Selection •• RTS/CTS feature •• Fragmentation •• Power Management What is ad-hoc mode? When a wireless network is set to ad-hoc mode, the wireless-equipped computers are configured to communicate directly with each other.
Wireless Security Checklist Appendix B Appendix B: Wireless Security Checklist Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted.

CGI Commands Appendix D Appendix D: Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Commands Overview CGI (Common Gateway Interface) is a simple method to send or receive data from a program or application through a web interface. The WVC80N supports a multitude of CGI commands that can be passed to it via HTTP from your client PC or mobile phone. This will allow you to perform basic functions such as view the camera’s video stream, capture a snapshot or retrieve the camera’s status information.
CGI Commands Appendix D Snapshot Method: GET URL: http:///img/snapshot.cgi?[size=][&quality=] Parameter Value and description size Image resolution 1: 160x120 2: 320x240 3: 640x480 quality Quality level 1: Very high 2: High 3: Normal 4: Low 5: Very low Snapshot (continued) Example 1: To snapshot a 640x480 very high quality JPEG image from network Camera 192.168.0.99, http://192.168.0.99/img/snapshot.
CGI Commands Appendix D If the client player is the QuickTime player, the latency is always approximately 3 second. If there is no audio content in the streaming, you can use the extension parameter “[?|&]latency=no” to push the QuickTime player to play the streaming video without any latency, but this method causes the frame rate to be unstable. Example: rtsp:///img/video.

Appendix G 12.
Appendix G Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries.
Appendix G Software End User License Agreement (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.
Appendix G a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library.
