Both the SSid and WPA passphrase are all in uppercase characters.
•
The SSID consists of the characters "OPTUSV" followed by the last 6 characters of the CM MAC Address.
•
These characters are the letters A-F and the digits 0-9.
The WPA passphrase consists of three or four 5-character "words" followed by
•
a 5 digit random number consisting of the digits 1-9 only.
There is no particular significance to the words used – words have been used rather than random letters
to make the passphrase easier to remember and type.
If you would prefer to use a different passphrase, this can be changed on the Wireless Settings page.
