Advanced Setup

Wireless

The Wireless Barricade can easily be configured as a Wireless Access Point, so the wireless clients can connect directly to it to form a wireless network. The wireless PCs must be set to infrastructure mode to communicate with the Access Point.

Channel and SSID

To create a wireless network, the Wireless Barricade and wireless PCs must have the same Service Set ID (SSID), encryption settings and channel number. The wireless settings for the Wireless Barricade are described below:

SSID: The Service Set ID (SSID) is the name given to your wireless LAN. Only PCs with the same SSID as the Wireless Barricade can connect to the wireless LAN. (Default is SMC)

Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
