LABEL DESCRIPTION

Wireless LAN
Click the check box to activate wireless LAN.
Name(SSID) (Service Set IDentity) The SSID identifies the Service Set with which a wireless
station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP) must
have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
Note: If you are configuring the Prestige from a computer connected
to the wireless LAN and you change the Prestige’s SSID or
WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you
press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless
settings of your computer to match the Prestige’s new settings.

cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning using a site survey tool.
