II. Description of WLAN basic parameters
z
Wireless Interface: The SSID and MAC address of D-20, which is used for
identifying D-20. You do not need to fill it in manually, for the system will fill it in
automatically.
z
Network Name (SSID): Used for identifying a WLAN. When SSID of the wireless
terminal (such as PC) is the same with that of D-20, they can put up data
communication with each other. For the security of WLAN, do not use the default
SSID. Use other string instead, such as "My home".
z
Network Type: Network type of WLAN. When it is set to Open, WLAN is an open
network and D-20 broadcasts the SSID of this WLAN. This type of network is
convenient for users to access, but it is also easy for unauthorized access to
WLAN. When it is set to Closed, WLAN is a closed network and D-20 does not
broadcast the SSID of this WLAN. Under this network type, configure the SSID at
the wireless terminal first before accessing the WLAN to guarantee the security.
