The default SSID for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is ConnectionPoint. For security rea-
sons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast (for information see
below).
Note:
If a WPS registration (see page 46) was performed before manual configuration, the
generated SSID is displayed in this screen. You should not change this SSID here
manually. Otherwise, the registered clients will no longer have access to your wireless
network.
Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case-sensitive. It can contain up to
32 characters. Use a combination of letters, digits and special characters.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you have
entered the new SSID in them as well.
SSID broadcast
If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID
in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs
that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, hackers could use the SSID to detect
your network.
If you deactivate SSID broadcast, the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will not be
displayed. This increases protection against unauthorised access to your wireless net-
work. Make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on to the PC.
To protect your wireless network, you should also enable encryption of data transmis-
sions (page 85).

Select Off to deactivate SSID broadcast.
