What to check on the DHCP server Is the power of the DHCP server turned on? • Turn on the DHCP server. Are there enough addresses for assignment by the DHCP server? • Increase the number of addresses that can be assigned by the DHCP server. • Remove devices whose IP addresses are assigned by the DHCP server from the network to reduce the number of addresses in use. Is the DHCP server working correctly? • Check the DHCP server settings to make sure it is working correctly as a DHCP server.
22: No response from DNS server What to check on the transmitter On the transmitter, the DNS address is set to [Manual setting]. Is this the correct setting? • If no DNS server is used, set the transmitter's DNS address setting to [Disable] ( ). Did you set the correct IP address of the DNS server configured for the transmitter? • Make sure to set the IP address of the DNS server you will use for the transmitter ( , ).
23: Device with same IP address exists on selected network Is another device on the transmitter network using the same IP address as the transmitter? • Change the transmitter's IP address to avoid using the same address as another device on the network. Otherwise, change the IP address of the device that has a duplicated address. • If the transmitter's IP address is set to [Manual setting] in network environments using a DHCP server, change the setting to [Auto setting] ( ).
On the transmitter, does [Port number setting] for the FTP server match the actual port number of the FTP server? • Configure the same port number (usually 21 for FTP/FTPS and 22 for SFTP) on the transmitter and the FTP server. Configure the FTP server's port number on the transmitter ( ). Are the transmitter's FTP server settings correctly entered on the DNS server? • Make sure that [Server name] of the configured FTP server is correctly entered on the DNS server.
What to check on the proxy server Is the power of the proxy server turned on? • Turn on the proxy server. Is the proxy server working correctly? • Check the proxy server settings to make sure it is working correctly as a proxy server. • If applicable, obtain the proxy server's address setting and port number from your network administrator and enter them on the transmitter.
What to check on the network as a whole Does your network include a router or similar device that serves as a gateway? • If applicable, obtain the network gateway address from your network administrator and enter it on the transmitter. • Make sure that the gateway address setting is correctly entered on all network devices, including the transmitter.
46: For the data session, error code received from FTP server What to check on the FTP server The connection was terminated by the FTP server. • Restart the FTP server. Do the user rights for accessing files on the FTP server allow reading, writing, and log access? • Set the user rights for accessing files on the FTP server to allow reading, writing, and log access.
61: Selected SSID wireless LAN network not found Are there any obstacles blocking the line of sight between the transmitter and the antenna of the access point? • Move the antenna of the access point to a position clearly visible from the point of view of the transmitter. What to check on the transmitter Is the same SSID configured for the transmitter and the access point? • Check the SSID at the access point, then set the same SSID on the transmitter ( ).
64: Cannot connect to wireless LAN terminal Are the transmitter and the access point set to use the same encryption method? • The transmitter supports WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption ( ). If filtering by MAC address is active, is the MAC address of the transmitter in use registered at the access point? • Register the MAC address of the transmitter in use at the access point. The MAC address can be found on the [MAC address] screen ( ).
67: Incorrect wireless LAN encryption method Are the transmitter and the access point set to use the same encryption method? • The transmitter supports WEP, TKIP, and AES encryption ( ). If filtering by MAC address is active, is the MAC address of the transmitter in use registered at the access point? • Register the MAC address of the transmitter in use at the access point. The MAC address can be found on the [MAC address] screen ( ). 68: Cannot connect to wireless LAN terminal. Retry from the beginning.
72: Cannot connect to sender camera Are you following the correct procedure to establish a connection with the sender camera? • Make sure to follow the correct procedure for controlling the sender camera ( , ). Is the sender camera placed too far from the receiver cameras? • Place the sender camera closer to the receiver cameras. Are there many devices in your surroundings that emit radio waves? • Move away from that area and try controlling the sender camera again ( , ).
Troubleshooting Guide If a problem occurs, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide to check the cameras and connected devices. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact the nearest Canon Service Center. Cannot transfer images to an FTP server To transfer captured images to an FTP server, set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch to < >. When the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch is set to < >, images cannot be transferred.
Wireless Function Notes If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, images are not displayed smoothly, or other problems occur when using the wireless functions, try the following corrective actions. Access Point and Antenna Installation Location Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the transmitter. Install the device as close to the transmitter as possible.
Notes for Using Multiple Wireless Transmitters When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, make sure that the cameras' IP addresses are different. When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops. When there are multiple IEEE 802.11n/g/b (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel to reduce radio wave interference.
Security If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur. Interception of communication Third parties with malicious intent may intercept the wireless LAN communication and may attempt to acquire the data being transmitted. Unauthorized network access Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to your network, attempting to steal, modify, or destroy your data.
