About configuration methods

The following 3 configuration methods are supported.
Please select the one appropriate for your environment.
 

Configuration using a network cable (Recommended)

By connecting DS-520AN to your existing network using a network cable, you can configure the network settings from your computer using the configuration utility that you downloaded from our website.
For this method, a network cable is required.

If you plan to use DS-520AN in a wireless network, please obtain your wireless setting information beforehand. The network cable is used only for setup. Unplug the cable when you finish the setup.

If you plan to use DS-520AN in a wired network, you do not have to obtain the wireless setting information. Also, the network cable does not need to be unplugged.

Configuration using the WPS feature of your wireless router

If your wireless router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), the network configuration can be done automatically by pressing the wireless connection button on your router and the push switch on DS-520AN.

For this configuration method, a wireless router supporting WPS is required. To see if your router supports WPS, refer to the operation manual that came with your router or contact the manufacturer.

You do not need to obtain any wireless setting information beforehand, since the wireless settings are automatically configured between DS-520AN and your router.

Configuration using a USB flash drive

By saving the configuration information to a USB flash drive and connecting it to DS-520AN, you can configure the network settings. For this configuration method, a USB flash drive is required. Only a few KB of free memory is required on the USB flash drive and it is OK if there are other files present on it.

To save the configuration information to the USB flash drive, please use the configuration utility that you downloaded from our website.

If you plan to use DS-520AN on a wireless network, please obtain your wireless setting information beforehand.
