SECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of
the ICA-110/ICA-110W the Administrator has the exclusive
privilege to access the System Administration for settings and
control requirements to allow users the level of entry and
authorize the privileges for all users. The ICA-110/ICA-110W
supports multi-level password protection and access to the ICA-
110/ICA-110W is strictly restricted to define the user who has a
“User Name” and “User Password” that is assigned by the
Administrator.
The administrator can release a public user name and password so
when remote users access the ICA-110/ICA-110W they will have
the right to view the image transmitted by the ICA-110/ICA-
110W.
NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly
recommended to set the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password"
when you are the first time to use the ICA-110/ICA-110W.
Once the ID and Password are defined, only the administrator
has the access to management the ICA-110/ICA-110W. This
procedure should be done as soon as possible since the
security features with the ICA-110/ICA-110W will not be
enabled until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.

-
WEP Key: To enable WEP Encryption, you should decide
the encryption format first by selecting the ASCII or HEX,
and then input the WEP key.
ASCII input format:
ASCII format causes each character you type to be
interpreted as an eight-bit value. All unaccented upper- and
lower-case Western European characters that can be input
through your keyboard's typing zone are valid. To setup a
64-bit WEP key, input 5 ASCII characters. For example,
‘12345’. To setup an 128-bit WEP key, input 13 ASCII
characters.
For example, ‘1234567890123’.
These
character counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104
respectively; the camera will automatically pad your input to
a bit count of 64 or 128.
HEX input format:
Hex format causes each pair of characters you type to be
interpreted as an eight-bit value in hexadecimal (base 16)
notation. Only the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A
through F (in upper or lower case) are valid. To setup a 64-
bit WEP key, input 10 HEX format.
For example,
‘3132333435’, which is the same with ASCII input ‘12345’.
To setup an 128-bit WEP key, input 26 HEX format. For
example, ‘31323334353637383930313233’, which is the
same with ASCII input ‘1234567890123’. These character
counts result in bit counts of 40 and 104, respectively; the
camera will automatically pad your input to a bit count of 64
or 128.

B PING Your IP Address
The PING (Packet Internet Groper) command can determine
whether a specific IP address is accessible by sending a packet to
the specific address and waiting for a reply. It can also provide a
very useful tool to confirm if the IP address conflicts with the
INTERNET CAMERA over the network.
Follow the step-by-step procedure below to utilize the PING
command. However, you must disconnect the INTERNET
CAMERA from the network first.
Start a DOS window.
Type ping x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the
INTERNET CAMERA.
The succeeding replies as illustrated below will provide useful
explanation to the cause of the problem with the INTERNET
CAMERA IP address.
85

C Trouble Shooting
Q: I cannot access the ICA-110/ICA-110W from a web
browser.
A1: The possible cause might be the IP Address for the ICA-
110/ICA-110W is already being used by another device. To
correct the possible problem, you need to first disconnect the
ICA-110/ICA-110W from the network. Then run the PING
utility (follow the instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP
Address).
A2: Another possible reason is the IP Address is located on a
different subnet. To fix the problem, run the PING utility (follow
the instructions in Appendix B - PING Your IP Address). If the
utility returns “no response” or similar, the finding is probably
correct, then you should proceed as follows:
In Windows 95/98/2000 and Windows NT, double check the IP
Address of the ICA-110/ICA-110W is within the same subnet as
your workstation.
Click “Start”, “Setting”, “Control Panel”, and the “Network” icon.
Select TCP/IP from the “Network” dialog box and from the
“TCP/IP Properties” dialog box click “Specify an IP address”.
If the ICA-110/ICA-110W is situated on a different subnet than
your workstation, you will not be able to set the IP address from
this workstation. To verify make sure the first 3 sections of the IP
address of the ICA-110/ICA-110W corresponds to the first 3
sections of the workstation. Therefore the IP address of the ICA-
110/ICA-110W must be set from a workstation on the same
subnet.
86

A3: Other possible problems might be due to the network cable.
Try replacing your network cable. Test the network interface of
the product by connecting a local computer to the unit, utilizing a
standard Crossover (hub to hub) Cable. If the problem is not
solved the ICA-110/ICA-110W might be faulty.
Q: Why does the Power LED not light up constantly?
A: The power supply used might be at fault. Confirm that you
are using the provided power supply DC 5V for the ICA-
110/ICA-110W and verify that the power supply is well
connected.
Q: Why does the Link LED not light up properly?
A1: There might be a problem with the network cable. To
confirm that the cables are working, PING the address of a know
device on the network. If the cabling is OK and your network is
reachable, you should receive a reply similar to the following
(…bytes = 32 time = 2 ms).
A2: The network device utilized by the ICA-110/ICA-110W is
not functioning properly such as hubs or switches. Confirm the
power for the devices are well connected and functioning.
A3: The wireless connection might be at fault. In ad-hoc mode
make sure the ICA-110/ICA-110W wireless channel and ESSID
is set to match the PC/Notebook wireless channel and ESSID for
direct communication.
Under infrastructure mode make sure the ESSID on the
PC/Notebook and the ICA-110/ICA-110W must match with the
access point’s ESSID.

Q: Why does the ICA-110/ICA-110W work locally but not
externally?
A1: Might be caused from the firewall protection. Need to check
the Internet firewall with your system administrator.
A2: The default router setting might be a possible reason. Need
to double check if the configuration of the default router settings
is required.
Q: Why does a series of broad vertical white line appears
through out the image?
A: A likely issue is that the CMOS sensor becomes overloaded
when the light source is too bright such as direct exposure to
sunlight or halogen light. You need to reposition the Internet
Camera into a more shaded area immediately as this will damage
the CMOS sensor.
Q: There is bad focus on the ICA-110/ICA-110W, what
should be done?
A1: The focus might not be correctly adjusted for the line of sight.
You need to adjust the ICA-110/ICA-110W focus manually as
described in Adjust Internet Camera Focus.
Q: Noisy images occur how can I solve the problem?
A1: The video images might be noisy if the ICA-110/ICA-110W
is used is a very low light environment. To solve this issue you
need more lighting.
A2: There might be wireless transmission interference make sure
there are no other wireless devices on the network that will affect
the wireless transmission.
88
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Q: There is poor image quality, how can I improve the image?
A1: A probable cause might be the incorrect display properties
configuration for your desktop. You need to open the Display
Properties on your desktop and configure your display to show at
least 65’000 colors for example at least 16-bit.
NOTE: Applying only 16 or 256 colors on your computer will
produce dithering artifacts in the image.
A2: The configuration on the ICA-110/ICA-110W image display
is incorrect. Through the Web Configuration you need to adjust

Communication Communication has four components: sender, receiver,
message, and medium. In networks, devices and
application tasks and processes communicate messages
to each other over media. They represent the sender and
receivers. The data they send is the message. The
cabling or transmission method they use is the medium.

addressing, a device can have a different IP address
every time it connects to the network. In some systems,
the device's IP address can even change while it is still
connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and
dynamic IP addresses. This simplifies the task for
network administrators because the software keeps
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an
administrator to manage the task. This means a new
computer can be added to a network without the hassle
of manually assigning it a unique IP address. DHCP
allows the specification for the service provided by a
router, gateway, or other network device that
automatically assigns an IP address to any device that
requests one
DNS
Domain Name System is an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. Since
domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to
remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP
addresses every time you use a domain name the DNS
will translate the name into the corresponding IP
address.

Ethernet
The most popular LAN communication technology.
There are a variety of types of Ethernet, including 10
Mbps (traditional Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet),
and 1,000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). Most Ethernet
networks use Category 5 cabling to carry information,
in the form of electrical signals, between devices.
Ethernet is an implementation of CSMA/CD that
operates in a bus or star topology.
F
Fast Ethernet Fast Ethernet, also called 100BASE-T, operates at 10
or 100Mbps per second over UTP, STP, or fiber-optic
media.
Firewall
Firewall is considered the first line of defense in
protecting private information. For better security, data
can be encrypted. A system designed to prevent
unauthorized access to or from a private network.
Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized
Internet users from accessing private networks
connected to the Internet, especially Intranets all
messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through
the firewall, which examines each message and blocks
those that do not meet the specified security criteria.

HEX
Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number
system, which consists of 16 unique symbols: the
numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the
decimal number 15 is represented as F in the
hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal
system is useful because it can represent every byte (8
bits) as two consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier
for humans to read hexadecimal numbers than binary
numbers.

Intranet
This is a private network, inside an organization or
company, that uses the same software you will find on
the public Internet. The only difference is that an
Intranet is used for internal usage only.
Internet
The Internet is a globally linked system of computers
that are logically connected based on the Internet
Protocol (IP). The Internet provides different ways to
access private and public information worldwide.
Internet
address
To participate in Internet communications and on
Internet Protocol-based networks, a node must have an
Internet address that identifies it to the other nodes. All
Internet addresses are IP addresses

format used to route the information. Your Internet
service provider controls the IP address of any device it
connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your
network must conform to IP addressing rules. In
smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP
function of a router or gateway to assign the IP
addresses on internal networks.
IP address
IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies
each sender or receiver of information that is sent in
packets across the Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is
an IP address, it is the closet thing the Internet has to
telephone numbers. When you “call” that number,
using any connection methods, you get connected to
the computer that “owns” that IP address.
ISP
Internet Service Provider, is a company that maintains
a network that is linked to the Internet by way of a
dedicated communication line. An ISP offers the use
of its dedicated communication lines to companies or
individuals who can’t afford the high monthly cost for
a direct connection.
J
JAVA
Java is a programming language that is specially
designed for writing programs that can be safely
downloaded to your computer through the Internet
without the fear of viruses. It is an object-oriented
multi-thread programming best for creating applets and
applications for the Internet, Intranet and other
complex, distributed network.

L
LAN
Local Area Network a computer network that spans a
relatively small area sharing common resources. Most
LANs are confined to a single building or group of
buildings.
N
NAT
Network Address Translator generally applied by a
router, that makes many different IP addresses on an
internal network appear to the Internet as a single
address. For routing messages properly within your
network, each device requires a unique IP address. But
the addresses may not be valid outside your network.
NAT solves the problem. When devices within your
network request information from the Internet, the
requests are forwarded to the Internet under the router's
IP address. NAT distributes the responses to the proper
IP addresses within your network.
Network
A network consists of a collection of two or more
devices, people, or components that communicate with
each other over physical or virtual media. The most
common types of network are:
LAN – (local area network): Computers are in close
distance to one another. They are usually in the same
office space, room, or building.
WAN – (wide area network): The computers are in
different geographic locations and are connected by
telephone lines or radio waves.

whether a specific IP address is accessible. It functions
by sending a packet to the specified address and waits
for a reply. It is primarily used to troubleshoot Internet
connections.
PPPoE
Protocol
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a
specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the Internet through a common broadband medium,
such as DSL or cable modem. All the users over the
Ethernet share a common connection.
Communication on the network is governed by sets of
rules called protocols. Protocols provide the guidelines
devices use to communicate with each other, and thus
they have different functions. Some protocols are
responsible for formatting and presenting and
presenting data that will be transferred from file server
memory to the file server’s net work adapter Others are
responsible for filtering information between networks
and forwarding data to its destination. Still other
protocols dictate how data is transferred across the
medium, and how servers respond to workstation
requests and vice versa. Common network protocols
responsible for the presentation and formatting of data
for a network operating system are the Internetwork
Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol or the Internet
Protocol (IP). Protocols that dictate the format of data
