Configuration and Management

When the scanning is finished, the following information about identified wireless networks is displayed:

MAC Address

The MAC address of the access point of

 

the wireless network.

Network Name

The name of the wireless network.

Channel

The radio channel used by the wireless

 

network.

RSSI

The radio signal strength.

Use this information to decide which channel to use for the Ericsson W20 wireless network. Click Back to return to the Wireless LAN page where you can select this channel.

To avoid interference with other wireless networks, the transmit power level can be reduced. If you want to change the transmit power level according to your specific conditions, select an appropriate level from the Transmit power [dBm] list.

Apply to save the settings.

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 (-) with a maximum length of 127 characters. Type the new name in the Network name (SSID) field.

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).
