Panasonic BB-HGW700A manual Data Entry Field Wireless, Network Mode, Stealth Ssid

Operating Instructions

Data Entry Field

Wireless	Select a wireless network mode from Disable, "802.11b", "802.11b/g" or
Network Mode	"802.11g only".
	• Select Disable when you do not want to send/receive wireless data.
	• "802.11b" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. Compatible products
	are abundant and low priced. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also
	already widespread so it is useful when you want to use your other
	wireless devices.
	• "802.11b/g" sends/receives data on a 2.4 GHz band. It combines the
	features of "802.11b" and "802.11g", and is compatible with both
	wireless LAN specifications. It is also easy to introduce into existing
	wireless environments.
	• "802.11g only" can only send/receive data to and from the 802.11g. If
	this product's data sending/receiving mode is set to "802.11g only", it
	does not support "802.11b/g" integration mode, but the original
	802.11g's capabilities are realized. It is faster and reaches further than
	"802.11b/g", so is good to use when sending/receiving data between
	floors.
	• When using "802.11g only", if other 2.4.GHz band wireless devices
	(including the "802.11b" wireless device) exist, the data speed is
	reduced.
SSID	A name is given to the network on a wireless LAN. This name is called
	SSID.
	The SSID can be set on each device connected to the wireless LAN, and
	data can only be sent/received to and from devices with the same SSID.
	Enter the SSID following the guidelines below. (The device-specific SSID is
	already entered in the default settings. It is displayed on the rear of this
	product.)
	• It is case-sensitive. (e.g. 'ABC' and 'abc' are recognized as 2 different
	names.)
	• Enter no more than 32 characters.
Stealth SSID	For the wireless LAN device to detect the network, there is a function
	whereby the SSID, which is a network identifier, is sent out to surrounding
	devices at regular time intervals. If Disable is selected, the wireless LAN
	device can detect the network easily. However, unauthorized users can also
	find the network and try to connect to it, so there a possible security
	weakness. By selecting Enable on the stealth SSID function, it is possible to
	use this product to make the network hard to detect for unauthorized users.
	When Enable is set, connection through the ANY key can be denied. The
	default is set to Enable.
