following procedure for each:

1 Enter the Host Name or IP Address for which you require

information.

the utility. The results of your query are displayed.

Wireless - Basic

This screen enables you to setup your Service Set Identifier (SSID)
parameters for your network. The SSID is the name of your network
that is shared among all the devices in a wireless network. The SSID
must be identical on all of the devices in your wireless network. The
SSID is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 alphanumeric
characters.

The default SSID is “motorola XXX, where XXX are the last 3
characters of your Wireless MAC address, found on the label on the
bottom of the unit. It is strongly recommended that you change this to
a unique name.

To access the screen, click Wireless > Basic.

Click Apply to save your settings or Cancel to cancel changes.
