Security Setup Wizard

SSID

For the wireless network components to be able to communicate with one another, you must use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).

The default SSID for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is ConnectionPoint. For security reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.

If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, unauthorised persons could use the SSID to gain access to your network.

ìEnter a character string of your choice in the SSID field. The SSID is case sensitive. It can contain up to 32 characters. Use a combination of letters, digits and special char- acters.

Note:

The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until the new SSID has also been entered.

ìDeactivate SSID broadcast and make a note of the SSID. You will need this to con- nect your PC to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl at a later time.
