Select
On
for the
Wireless Network
(default setting).
Devices can only log in wirelessly if the WLAN module of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN
dsl is activated.
You can now make the settings for the wireless network.
Channel
All clients in the network use the set radio channel for wireless data transfer. You can
choose between various channels, depending on your current location.
ì
Select
Automatic
so that the best channel for transmitting the data is used
automatically.
SSID
For the wireless network components to be able to communicate with one another, you
must use the same
(Service Set Identifier).
The default SSID for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is
ConnectionPoint
. For security rea-
sons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast (for information see
below).
Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case sensitive. It can contain up to
32 alphanumeric characters.
SSID broadcast
If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID
in all data transfers and the SSID of your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on
PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, hackers could use the SSID to
detect your network.
If you deactivate
SSID broadcast
, the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will not be
displayed. This increases the protection against unauthorised access to your wireless
network. Make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on to the PC.
ì
Select
Off
to deactivate
SSID broadcast
.
Transmission mode
This function is only shown in the window if the Super G transmission mode is deacti-
vated (page 79).
The IEEE 802.11g standard permits data transfer up to 54 Mbit/s, and the IEEE 802.11b
standard up to 11 Mbit/s. Choose
IEEE 802.11g only
to ensure the best possible data
transfer rates in your network. To operate clients with older wireless network adapters
in your network, select
IEEE 802.11b/g (mixed)
.
ì
Select the required transmission mode for your wireless network.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you have
entered the new SSID in them as well.
