Network Name (SSID)
This is a unique ID used to identify wireless networks. The setting
can be made individually for Access Point Network connection
mode and Peer to Peer Network connection mode. When connecting
to an existing network, consult your network administrator
regarding the proper settings. When changing an existing Network
Name, you can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters (including
symbols).
Hints
• Opening the "Network Name" drop-down list will show the Network Names
of any Access Points within range. You can then select a Network Name from
the list.
• When using the Wireless LAN Access Point PCWA-A320, the default
Network Name (SSID) of the Access Point is shown on the ID label of the
Access Point. For details on the position of the label and other information,
refer to the manuals provided with the Access Point.
WEP
If Data Encryption (WEP) is enabled for the Access Point to which
you connect, select this item. When this item is selected, you also
need to enter the encryption key (WEP key) in the "Key" and
"Confirm key" fields.
The data encryption function serves to prevent unauthorized access
to the network. For security reasons, it is strongly recommended
that you enable this feature. The setting can be configured
individually for Access Point Network connection mode and Peer to
Peer Network connection mode. When connecting to an existing
network, consult your network administrator regarding the proper
settings. For information on how to control this setting at the Access
Point, refer to the manuals of the Access Point.
