3.3.2 Network Name
All clients on the local wireless network share a common Service Set
IDentifier (SSID) or network name. This name is required to establish
connection between the Ericsson W3x and the wireless client(s), and to
distinguish the wireless network from any other(s) that may be in use
nearby. Only devices configured with the same network name as the one
set on the Ericsson W3x can obtain access to it.
Figure 15 – Wireless LAN: Network Name (SSID) page
The network name is case-sensitive (distinguish between uppercase and
lowercase letters) and can be changed to any combination of numbers (0 –
9), letters (a – z), and hyphens (-) with a maximum length of 32 characters.
If the “Enable SSID broadcast” option is selected, your local wireless
client(s) will find the network name when scanning the air. If not, the
network name is hidden and has to be manually provided to the wireless
client(s).
If you want to change the preconfigured network name (MBR), type a new
name in the “Network name (SSID):” field and also select if the SSID shall
be hidden or not.
