SSID

Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must
use the same

SSID

(Service Set Identifier).

The default SSID for the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is ConnectionPoint. For security
reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable will send the SSID in all data
transmissions, and your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's SSID will be displayed on PCs
that have a wireless network adapter. In this case unauthorised persons could use the
SSID to gain access to your network.

ì

Enter a character string of your choice in the SSID field. The SSID is case sensitive.
It can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.
Make a note of the SSID. You will need this to register your PC.

By default SSID broadcast is inactive. For security reasons you should not change this
preconfiguration.

Click on Next > to proceed to the next step.

Please remember:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be broken until the new SSID
has been entered in them as well.
