Configuring security measures

Setting the SSID and making it invisible

Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable comes supplied with the SSID configured as ConnectionPoint. For security reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate the broadcast function (SSID visible).

◆Service Set ID (SSID)

Enter a character string of your choice. It is not case sensitive. It can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.

	◆	Remember that after you have completed the Security Setup the
i		connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted
i		until the new SSID has been entered in them as well.
	◆	You will find a detailed example of how to change the SSID in
		"Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.
