Setting the SSID and making it invisible

Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must

use the same

SSID

(Service Set Identifier).

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable comes supplied with the SSID configured as

ConnectionPoint. For security reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate the

broadcast function (SSID visible).

Service Set ID (SSID)
Enter a character string of your choice. It is not case sensitive. It can be up to

32 alphanumerical characters long.

i

Remember that after you have completed the Security Setup the

connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted

until the new SSID has been entered in them as well.

You will find a detailed example of how to change the SSID in

"Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.
