Connect Via Ad-Hoc Mode

In Ad-Hoc mode, the R.C.P. Bridge and your device connect to each other. To connect the R.C.P. Bridge to your device via an ad-hoc network, follow the instructions below:

1. Dock the R.C.P. Bridge to the camera. Go to Dock the R.C.P. Bridge.
2. Go to Menu > Settings > Setup > Communication.
3. Select the WiFi tab.
4. Select Ad-Hoc from the Mode drop-down menu.

5. Select a wireless channel from the Channel drop-down menu. The default is Ch1, and you can select one out of 11 channels.
6. Select a security option from the Camera Encryption drop-down menu:
   • NONE: The connection is unsecured.
   • WEP: The connection is encrypted via WEP.
7. If you selected WEP as the encryption option, type the passphrase that is required to access the network. The passphrase must meet the following WEP requirements:
   • The passphrase must be exactly 10 characters long.
   • The passphrase must be in hexadecimal format (only 0–9, A–F).
8. Close the WiFi screen.
9. Connect your device to the ad-hoc network created by the R.C.P. Bridge. The steps in this procedure depend on what type of device and operating system you are using. For example, if you are connecting an iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Devices, and select the camera name. The camera is identified by the SSID, which also displays on the WiFi screen in-camera.
10. If you created a passphrase for the network, enter that passphrase.

    The camera and your device are now connected.
