in the wireless client utility.

DESCRIPTION

Network Name (SSID)

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

 

device is associated. 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 security 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.
