The two essential settings
for wireless LAN operation
are the SSID and Channel
Number. The SSID
(Service Set Identifier) is
used to identify a group of
wireless LAN components.
The SSID can be broadcast
or can be hidden (not
broadcast). Use the
Advanced Wireless
Settings menu to configure
these basic settings.
Wireless security using
encryption (WEP) or
access limitation (WPA) is
also configured with the
Wireless Settings method.

setting up security for
Wireless LAN.

Configure Basic Wireless Settings
Follow the instructions below to change basic wireless settings.
1. To disable the wireless interface: click in the Enable AP check box to
remove the check mark and click the Apply button. This will immediately
disable the wireless access point, it is not necessary to restart the access
point to make this change.
2. If the wireless interface has been disabled: click the Enable AP check
box to place a check mark in it. Click the Apply button. It is not necessary to
restart the access point unless you have also changed the channel or SSID.
3. The SSID can be changed to suit your wireless network. Remember that any
wireless device using the access point must have the same SSID and use the
same channel. The SSID can be a continuous character string (i.e. no spaces)
of up to 16 characters in length. To disable SSID sharing (SSID broadcast),
you will need to go to the Advanced > Wireless Performance page. A hidden
SSID makes it more difficult for wireless clients to join or leave the SSID as
they must be manually configured to join. Click the Apply button to save any
changes made to the SSID.
