Wireless

The Wireless Barricade can easily be configured as a Wireless
Access Point, so the wireless clients can connect directly to it to
form a wireless network. The wireless PCs must be set to
infrastructure mode to communicate with the Access Point.

Channel and SSID

To create a wireless network, the Wireless Barricade and
wireless PCs must have the same Service Set ID (SSID),
encryption settings and channel number. The wireless settings
for the Wireless Barricade are described below:

SSID: The Service Set ID (SSID) is the name given to your
wireless LAN. Only PCs with the same SSID as the Wireless
Barricade can connect to the wireless LAN. (Default is SMC)

Note:

The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
