Wireless Security Settings
Rename your network
The default Service Set Identifier (SSID) for your Ovation is ovation. In some
operating systems, the SSID is also used as the network name. If you keep the
default SSID, confusion could occur if one of your neighbors sets up a wireless
network with the same name.
If you and your neighbor have disabled the security settings and you live within
150 meters of each other, your computer could accidentally connect to your
neighbor’s wireless network (and vice versa).
To solve this problem, you should change the default SSID. An SSID can contain
a maximum of 32 alphanumerical characters (letters or numbers) and is case
sensitive. For example, NEWNAME is not the same as newname.
Reconnecting your computer
When you click Apply after you change the SSID, computers with wireless
connections to your Ovation will disconnect. It can take 2 to 3 minutes before
the Ovation reappears in the list of available wireless networks. As soon as your
computer finds your Ovation, it should reconnect automatically. If not, you must
reconnect manually.
For instructions on how to reestablish the wireless connection between your
computer and your Ovation, please refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
