1 Select channels for the Access Point to use or Auto if you want the Access
Point to choose an unused channel on start-up.
2 Enter a Service Area Name/SSID.
The Service Area Name default for 3Com products is "3Com". Up to 32
(case sensitive) characters can be entered for the Service Area Name.
3Com strongly recommends that you change the SSID to something
other than the default.
For information on improving your Wireless network security see
"Wireless Settings"
If you are configuring the Access Point from a wireless computer any
changes you make to the wireless configuration will result in
communication between the Access Point and your computer being lost.
This is why 3Com strongly recommends that you configure the Access
Point from a wired computer.
It is very important that you set up your wireless clients to use the same
Service Area Name or SSID as the one you use on this screen. If your
clients use a different Service Area Name then they will not be able to
communicate with the Access Point.
The choice of channel is less important as Clients will generally search all
of the available channels. You should however make a note of the
channel you select as this may be useful if you experience problems with
your clients.
