Images transferred to the FTP server are stored in the following folder as specified in the FTP
server settings.
Windows
Under the default settings of the FTP server, images are stored in [C drive] [Inetpub]
folder [ftproot] folder, or in a subfolder of this folder.
If the root folder of the transfer destination has been changed in the FTP server settings, ask
the FTP server administrator where images are transferred.
Macintosh
Open the [Macintosh HD] [Users] folder. The folder where images are stored is located
in the folder of the user currently logged on, or in a subfolder there.
Folders for Image Storage
Under the default transmitter settings, transferred images will be stored in the root folder
specified in the FTP server settings, in a folder structure such as A/DCIM/100EOS7D which is
automatically created.
Additionally, if you have selected a CF card as the media for recording and playback, a folder
structure such as “A/DCIM/100EOS7D” is automatically created for image storage. For external
media, “C/DCIM/100EOS7D” is created. (CF card images are assigned to the A folder, and
external media images to the C folder.)

IP Security (IPsec)
Configured in [TCP/IP] [Security].
IPsec is a set of standards for encrypted communication over the Internet. It provides effective
security for both wireless and wired LANs. To use this function, you must enable IPsec in the
network settings of your computer. When IPsec is employed, only transport mode is supported,
and DES encryption and SHA1 authentication are used. Note that the IP address of the
computer for communication with the transmitter must be entered in [Destination address] on
the settings screen.

Configured in [FTP server] [Directory structure].
Selecting [Camera] automatically creates a folder structure matching that of the camera’s (such
as A/DCIM/100EOS7D) in the server’s root folder for image storage. If you have created a
subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, a folder structure such as A/
DCIM/100EOS7D is automatically created in that folder for image storage.
Selecting [Default] will use the root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in
the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, images are saved in that folder.

Wireless LAN Notes
When using the transmitter with a wireless LAN, try the following corrective actions if the
transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur.
Wireless LAN Terminal Installation and Antenna Position
When using the transmitter indoors, install the wireless LAN terminal in the same room
where you are shooting.
Install the wireless LAN terminal higher than the transmitter.
Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the camera.
Install the device as close as possible to the camera. In particular, note that during
outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection.
Nearby Electronic Devices
If the transmission rate over a wireless LAN drops because of interference from the following
electronic devices, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem.
The transmitter communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/g and Bluetooth
using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission
rate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones,
or similar devices operating on the same frequency band.
Y
P
O
If a wireless LAN terminal on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby,
the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.
C
Using Multiple Transmitters
If multiple transmitters are connected to a single wireless LAN terminal, be careful not to
use duplicate camera IP addresses.
Note that the transmission rate drops when multiple transmitters access a single wireless
LAN terminal.
To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple wireless IEEE 802.11b/g
devices, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel. For example,
use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13.
When IEEE 802.11a can be used, switch to IEEE 802.11a and specify a different channel.
Security
Wireless LAN radio waves can be easily intercepted. For this reason, we recommend
activating encrypted communication in the wireless LAN terminal settings.

FCC / IC Notice
Model DS585782/DS585784 (including WLAN Module
Model CH9-1161, FCC ID is 161)
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this
device.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Y
P
O
The cable with the ferrite core provided with the digital camera must be used with this equipment
in order to comply with Class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC rules.
C
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the
manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop
operation of the equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with
using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless
devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating
effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects
might occur, but such findings have not been con- firmed by additional research. DS585782/
DS585784 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
