Security Setup Wizard
SSID
For the wireless network components to be able to communicate with one another, you
must use the same
SSID
(Service Set Identifier).
The default SSID for the Giga762SX WLAN dsl is shown at the label on the bottom of the
device. For security reasons you can change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast. If
this option is enabled, the Giga762SX WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data transfers
and the SSID of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl 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.
If you have performed a successful WPS registration before a manual configuration of
security data, this page shows the generated SSID. Make a note of this SSID. You will
need it to manually configure the wireless network adapters that do not support WPS.
