Ssid - Siemens Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl Manual

SSID

Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must
use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).
The default SSID for the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl is ConnectionPoint. For security rea-
sons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data trans-
missions and your Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl's SSID will be displayed on PCs that have a
wireless network adapter. In this case, unauthorised persons could use the SSID to gain
access to your network.
ì
Enter a character string of your choice in the SSID field. The SSID is case sensitive. It
can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.
Please remember:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until the new
SSID has been entered in them as well.
ì
Deactivate the option SSID broadcast and make a note of the SSID. You will need
this to log on your PC.
