Ssid - Siemens gigaset SE551 Owner's Manual

SSID

Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must
use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).
The default SSID for the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is ConnectionPoint. For security
reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable will send the SSID in all data
transmissions, and your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's SSID will be displayed on PCs
that have a wireless network adapter. In this case unauthorised persons could use the
SSID to gain access to your network.
ì
Enter a character string of your choice in the SSID field. The SSID is case sensitive.
It can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.
Make a note of the SSID. You will need this to register your PC.
Please remember:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be broken until the new SSID
has been entered in them as well.
By default SSID broadcast is inactive. For security reasons you should not change this
preconfiguration.
