Selecting Interface IDs
Wireless Interface
: It refers to the SSID and MAC address, and is used to identify the
wireless gateway.
SSID
SSID: The service set identifier (SSID)
is
used to identify a WLAN. A wireless terminal
(such as a PC) and the wireless gateway can perform normal data communication only
when they have the same SSIDs. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID.
You can enter a character string as the SSID, such as
MyHome
.
Enabling or Disabling the SSID Broadcast
Ÿ
Enabled
: Enable the SSID broadcast. The gateway broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN,
and users can easily access the WLAN. Unauthorized users, however, can also easily
access the WLAN.
Ÿ
Disabled
: Disable the SSID broadcast. The gateway does not broadcast the SSID of the
WLAN. Before accessing the WLAN, the user must obtain the SSID of the WLAN. Thus,
the WLAN security is improved.
