2.6.2Network Name
All devices on the local wireless network share a common Service Set IDentifier (SSID) or network name. This name is required to establish connection between the Ericsson W20 and other wireless device(s) and to distinguish the wireless network from any other(s) that may be in use nearby. It ensures that only devices configured with the same network name as the one set on the Ericsson W20 can obtain access to it.
The following settings concerning the network name are displayed and can be modified on the Wireless LAN page:
Network name (SSID) The name of the wireless network.
Enable SSID broadcast If this check box is selected the network name will be broadcasted, otherwise hidden.
The default network name can be changed to any combination of numbers (0 – 9), letters (a – z), and hyphens
If the SSID broadcast option is enabled, the local wireless client(s) will find the network name when scanning the air. If the option is disabled, the name is hidden and has to be manually provided to the wireless client(s).
