Figure 22 Wireless Configuration Screen
This screen displays a suggested Channel and Service Area Name. It also allows
you to change these settings. There are a maximum of 13 channels, the number
available to you is dependent on the country you reside in. The Service Area Name
default for 3Com products is "101". Up to 32 (case sensitive) characters can be
entered for the Service Area Name.
If you are configuring the Gateway from a wireless computer any changes you
make to the wireless configuration will result in communication between the
Gateway and your computer being lost. This is why 3Com strongly recommends
that you configure the Gateway from a wired computer.
It is very important that you set up your wireless clients to use the same Service
Area Name or SSID as the one you use on this screen. If your clients use a different
Service Area Name then they will not be able to communicate with the Gateway.
