Network Name (SSID)

The network name is a value that identifies a collection of wireless devices found in a particular network. The default value for the
Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point is wireless. All workstations and access points must use the same SSID to be able to
communicate with one another.

The SSID is a 32-character field, and the value is case sensitive.

Channel

The Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point can operate on a variety of channels. Access points within close proximity to one
another must be on different channels. If you have just one access point, then the default, auto, is probably adequate. If you have
multiple access points in your network, it is suggested to stagger the channels for each access point. It is advisable to use the default
unless there is a specific reason for changing the channel, such as interference from microwaves, cellular phone towers, or other
access points in the area.
