Table 13 - Network name description
Text Description
The network name (SSID) of the WLAN. Network name (SSID)
The network name is case-sensitive
(distinguish between uppercase and
lowercase letters) and can be changed to
any combination of numbers (0-9), letters
(a-z), and hyphens (-) with a maximum
length of 32 characters.
If “Enable SSID broadcast” is checked, the
AP (Ericsson W21) continuously
broadcasts the network name and any
nearby wireless device(s) will find it when
scanning the air. Enable SSID broadcast
If the checkbox is cleared, the network
name will be hidden and in this case the
name has to be provided manually to every
wireless device where access is to be
granted.
To change settings for the Network Name (SSID), type the new values in
the corresponding fields and click
Apply to save the settings.
2.6.7 WLAN Security
All communication on the wireless network can be protected using different
authentication and encryption methods. The most common is to encrypt the
WLAN using an encryption method such as WEP, WPA and WPA2.
Which authentication and encryption method that should be used depends
on what is supported by the connected wireless client(s).
Note: Each wireless device must be configured to use exactly the same
security mode and key/passphrase as the Ericsson W21 or they
will not be able to connect.
In the “Authentication method” list you select which type of authentication/
encryption you want to use for your WLAN. The following subsections
describe the authentication methods supported by the Ericsson W21.
