The WLAN connection to the XSBoxR4v is disconnected. The list of available wireless network connections
already shows, that it is a WEP encrypted wireless network.

Changing SSID

Administration interface >> WLAN >> Connection

The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the XSBoxR4v's WLAN network identification. From the factory the SSID is
XSBoxR4v.
You should change the SSID in order to avoid mix up between boxes which use the same SSID and are placed nearby
each other. Changing the SSID means you avoid accidentally connecting to an XSBoxR4v close-by.
How to change the SSID:

1.

Enter the desired identification in the field marked SSID. The SSID may be up to 31 characters long; it can
contain letters and numbers. The SSID is case sensitive.

2.

Make a note of the SSID and click on the button OK.
The WLAN connection to the XSBoxR4v is disconnected. The new SSID is shown in the list of available wire-
less network connections.

Deactivating SSID transmission

Administration interface >> WLAN >> Connection

By default the XSBoxR4v transmits the SSID.
This means the WLAN network is easy to find on the computer in order to connect to it. You can however switch off the
SSID transmission if you know the XSBoxR4v's SSID and you don't want it to be visible for other users.

Caution! Deactivate the SSID transmission only then when you have already been successful in establishing a connection between

the XSBoxR4v and your computer. Deactivation should be the last step planned.

How to deactivate the SSID transmission:

1.

1. Activate the option field Off next to SSID Broadcast

2.

2. Click on the button OK.
The WLAN connection to the XSBoxR4v could be disrupted. In this case enter the SSID known to you in the
field marked SSID.
