2 FTP Mode Infrastructure Network Setup Overview FTP Mode allows you to wirelessly transfer images you capture on your EOS DSLR to a WiFi-enabled computer that you have set up as a remote FTP server. The EOS Wireless File Transmitter will function as the FTP client. This setup guide will describe how to create an infrastructure FTP network on a PC running the Professional versions of Microsoft Windows XP. You must first install Internet Information Services (IIS) and FTP Service, which is available on the Professional installation CD. For detailed information on how to install IIS, please visit com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/ proddocs/en-us/iiiisin2.mspx?mfr=true. If you prefer, or if are using a version of Windows that does not support IIS, you can use one of the many third-party FTP server software applications available. Follow the software provider s instructions for how to configure the server, login, password, and Windows firewall. This setup requires you to assign a login name, password and WEP encryption. Please check to be sure you are operating in a secure environment before setup. Do not change the network settings on any computer without the permission of the network administrator. Be sure to write down your original network settings so that you can restore them later if you choose. 2
