Changing the Name of a WLAN

Function Overview
If the terminal has hidden the SSID of a WLAN, you need to enter the SSID of the
WLAN manually when you use a PC to access the WLAN. If you enter a wrong SSID,
the PC cannot connect to the WLAN. Therefore, the security of the WLAN can be
improved if the SSID is difficult to be predicted.
An SSID consists of 1-32 American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)
characters. When the terminal is delivered, the SSID is preset. You can find this preset
SSID on the label on the real panel of the terminal. In addition, the terminal supports the
change of the SSID. You can change the SSID as required.
Configuration Example
If your current SSID index is SSID1 and if you have used this SSID for a certain period,
to change this SSID to MyNewSSID, do as follows:
Log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
Step 1
Step 2 Choose Wireless > Basic in the navigation tree.
The WLAN configuration page is displayed.
Step 3 Clear SSID1 in SSID text box, and enter MyNewSSID.
Step 4 Click Save/Apply.
