2.6.2 Network Name
All devices 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 W20 and other wireless device(s) and to
distinguish the wireless network from any other(s) that may be in use
nearby. It ensures that only devices configured with the same network
name as the one set on the Ericsson W20 can obtain access to it.
