CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set Identifier)
is used. The default SSID of the AP is "WLAN". You can change this to anything
you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wireless networks
operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID is unique
(does not match that of another wireless network in the area). To change the
SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the SSID field (1) and click
"Apply Changes" (2). The change is immediate. If you make a change to the
SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured to
connect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your wire-
less network adapter for information on making this change.
Using the Broadcast SSID Feature
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network's SSID. Doing so
will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the
presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove
the check mark from the box next to "Broadcast SSID", and then click "Apply
Changes". The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to
connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of "ANY" will no longer be accepted.
Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information
on making this change.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your AP is equipped with the security standard called WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, follow
the steps in this section.
