This screen enables you to setup your Service Set Identifier (SSID) parameters for your network. The SSID is the name of your network that is shared among all the devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical on all of the devices in your wireless network. The SSID is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters.

The default SSID is “motorola XXX, where XXX are the last 3 characters of your Wireless MAC address, found on the label on the bottom of the unit. It is strongly recommended that you change this to a unique name.
