Ericsson WCDMA/HSDPA - Manual (Page 33)

Configuration and Management
The following settings concerning the network name are displayed and can
be modified on the Wireless LAN page:
The name of the wireless network. Network name (SSID)
If this check box is selected the network
name will be broadcasted, otherwise
hidden. Enable SSID broadcast
The default network name can be changed to any combination of numbers,
letters, or both, with a maximum length of 127 characters. Type the new
name in the Network name (SSID) field.
If the SSID broadcast option is enabled, the local wireless client(s) will find
the network name when scanning the air. If the option is disabled, the name
is hidden and has to be manually provided to the wireless client(s). To
disable network name broadcasting, clear the Enable SSID broadcast
check box on the Wireless LAN page.
Click Apply to save the settings.
2.6.3 Connected Devices
The Connected Devices list includes the MAC (Media Access Control)
addresses of all wireless devices currently connected to the Ericsson W20.
2.6.4 Security
The wireless data transmissions can be protected from potential intruders
and eavesdroppers through standard authentication and encryption
methods. Authentication is used to restrict access to the wireless network.
Encryption is the translation of data into a form that cannot be easily
understood by unauthorized users. The encrypted data can only be sent
and received by users with access to a private encryption key.
The following authentication methods are supported by the Ericsson W20:
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is considered to be a low security option.
The data is encrypted into blocks of either 64 bits length or 128 bits length.
The encrypted data can only be sent and received by users with access to
a private encryption key. Each device on your wireless network has to be
manually configured with the same key as the Ericsson W20 in order to
allow encrypted data transmissions.
