Network scan

If you are within the transmission range of the access point for which you
wish to create a profile, click on the Scan button. The handset then
searches for access points within its receiving range. The SSIDs of the
access points that can be reached and for which "SSID visible" is set are
displayed in the SSID Scan list.
Where available, select the SSID of the access point (router) you require. It
is copied into the Network Name (SSID) field. The radio channel used by
the access point is entered in the Channel field. The other fields in the Web
page are already filled in with default values. If necessary, you can adjust
the default settings via the Admin menu.
If the access point's SSID is not in the list because the access point is outside
the handset's receiving range or its SSID is not visible, you must configure
the WLAN access manually.

Configuring WLAN access

You must enter the following details in the fields on the Web page:

Network Name (SSID)

State the access point's SSID. The handset needs the WLAN's network name
to register with the access point of the WLAN (e.g. WLAN router).
The following settings are only possible when loading the Web page via the
Admin menu. Only change the default settings if you know that this is
necessary. If necessary, make a note of the default values.

Channel

Your WLAN router/access point communicates with the handset on a
particular radio channel. If there are several wireless networks within the
same transmission range (e.g. if you neighbour also operates a wireless
network), then different radio channels should be used. In Channel you
must select the radio channel that is also set at the WLAN router/access
point.
If you have selected the WLAN router/access point via the SSID Scan list,
the channel used by the WLAN router is already set.

Output Power (in %)

Specify the transmission power the handset is to use when transmitting
along the connection to the access point. The maximum permitted trans-
mission power is 100 mW or 20 dBm (default setting). You can decrease the
transmission power, e.g. if you are always within range of the access point.
