Common Setup

 

 

 

Network Name

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device

(SSID)

is associated. Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the

 

same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for

 

the wireless LAN.

 

Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer

 

connected to the wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL

 

Device’s SSID or WEP settings, you will lose your wireless

 

connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then

 

change the wireless settings of your computer to match the

 

ZyXEL Device’s new settings.

 

 

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station

 

cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
