Wireless Interface: The SSID and MAC address of D-20, which is used for identifying D-20. You do not need to fill it in manually, for the system will fill it in automatically.

Network Name (SSID): Used for identifying a WLAN. When SSID of the wireless terminal (such as PC) is the same with that of D-20, they can put up data communication with each other. For the security of WLAN, do not use the default SSID. Use other string instead, such as "My home".

Network Type: Network type of WLAN. When it is set to Open, WLAN is an open network and D-20 broadcasts the SSID of this WLAN. This type of network is convenient for users to access, but it is also easy for unauthorized access to WLAN. When it is set to Closed, WLAN is a closed network and D-20 does not broadcast the SSID of this WLAN. Under this network type, configure the SSID at the wireless terminal first before accessing the WLAN to guarantee the security.
