Wireless Setup
The NB9W serves as an 802.11g Wireless Access Point, with enhanced capabilities provided by Broadcom’s
XPress
TM technology. The first screen in the Wireless menus is as follows:
Field Enter
Enable Wireless Check Enable Wireless to turn on wireless transmission
Hide Access Point If this is checked, wireless clients will need to know the SSID (=wireless network name) if
they wish to join the network. If Hide Access point is unchecked, the SSID will be broadcast
to any wireless client in range
SSID ‘Station Set Identifier’, or network name; replace with name of your choice. All stations
must be configured with the correct SSID to access the WLAN. If the SSID does not match,
the wireless client will not be able to join the network. Min one character, max 32.
BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within
an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control)
address of the AP (Access Point) and in Independent BSS or ad-hoc networks, the BSSID is
generated randomly.
