The Network Name or SSID (ESSID) window is displayed in the right frame. Devices must use the same SSID, for example ″ANY″, before they can communicate with or through the Gateway. The default SSID is ″ANY″, which means that if the SSID of your device is something other than ″ANY″ (or is blank), you cannot access this Gateway through a wireless connection. The SSID can have up to 13 characters.
