First steps 13

SSID

The SSID (Service Set Identifi er) is a network identifi cation code used by the device in a wireless network. You can choose this code on your computer, in order to connect with the device.

SSID transmissions

Normally, the device sends out its SSID to client computers to show availability. You can stop these transmis- sions, however, to further increase security. In this case, you have to enter the SSID manually at each client computer.

WLAN encryption

To prevent unauthorized outside individuals from connecting to your device and using it or monitoring your data traffi c, you should defi nitely encrypt your WLAN connection. The most secure methods of encryption, are, in order of security: WPA 1+2, WEP 128 Bit, WEP 64 Bit. You should choose the most secure method that is sup- ported by your computer. The most up-to-date versions of Windows and Mac OS both support WPA 1+2.

WLAN encryption code

If you decide to encrypt your WLAN, you have to choose an encryption code. With the WPA encryption meth- ods, you can choose either a password or a hexadecimal character code. The WEP encryption methods require a hexadecimal code with a length of 26 characters (128 bit) or 10 characters (64 bit).

Note: To guarantee the highest degree of security, the WPA 1+2 encryption method should be activated.

Furthermore, we would like to remind you that an unencrypted connection can lead to high costs for you, since an outside individual can use your network: «Your neighbor surfs at your cost».

For more detailed information, see chapter Setting up connections, p.14.

6.Step 4 of the Security Wizard:

Security level

The security level allows you to choose a pre-set security confi guration. In particular, these confi gurations af- fect which type of data traffi c is allowed by the device, e.g. www or FTP services, e-mail, etc. If you require a detailed confi guration of the security settings, you can modify one of the basic settings selected here at a later time, in the «Security» menu.

Your sunrise surf & talk box is now confi gured. To exit the administration interface, you can either close the browser or enter a URL of your choice in the address line of your browser, thus proceeding into the wide domain of the Internet.
