The Basic Wireless Settings options are discussed below:

Wireless Network Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name.
Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters; the characters are case sensitive. In a setting
where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a
means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless
network needs to use the SSID.

Use this SSID: Manually enter the SSID or accept the factory default setting.

Select an Existing Network. Click Scan. Use the drop-down list to select the one you will
use from the list. If security options are enabled in the network you select, the screen will
automatically change to show which security options you must use.

Security Settings. This field identifies which security option will be used. Select the option
from the list that matches the wireless network you will use and fill in the settings so that they
match the settings of your wireless network.
