Set the SSID
Note: If you want to use Watcher to configure the SSID and security
settings, connect the modem to the laptop via an Ethernet cable.
Once the MP modem is configured, you can remove the Ethernet
cable.
The SSID is the name of the network that appears in the list of
computer network settings. The default SSID is in the format
MPxxxW‐FSN, where xxx is the model number and FSN is the
factory serial number.
For example, MP 595‐B452927000310.
There is no need to change the SSID, but you can if desired. If
you have more than one MP modem and you are changing the
SSID, be sure to assign a unique SSID to each MP modem.
To change the SSID:
1. Unlock the MP modem configuration. In Watcher, select
Tools > Options > Wireless Access Point > Password > Current
and enter the current password. (The default password is
MP3G .)
2. Select Tools > Options > MP > Wireless Access Point .
3. Under Configuration, select the SSID / Network Name field
and type in the desired SSID.
4. If you want to change more settings, proceed to the appro‐
priate sections. Otherwise click
OK to automatically reset
the modem.
