Assigning a Password
In the first step of the setup wizard you can assign a Password for the user interface. On
delivery, the configuration of your Gigaset SE361 WLAN is protected with the
admin
Password. To prevent unauthorised changes to the configuration, you should set your
own Password and change this Password from time to time.
ì
Enter the default password (or the new password you have assigned) in the
Current
password
field.
ì
Enter a new password in the
New password
field, and repeat it in the
Confirm new
password
field.
The Password can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long. The password is case
sensitive. Avoid proper names and all too obvious words. Use a combination of let-
ters and numbers.

SSID
Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, they must
all use the same
SSID
(Service Set Identifier).
On delivery, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's default SSID is
ConnectionPoint
. For security
reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN will send the SSID in all data transmis-
sions, and your Gigaset SE361 WLAN's SSID will be displayed on all PCs that have a wire-
less network adapter. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to
your local 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 it to log on your PC.
ì
Click on
Next >
to proceed to the next step.
Note:
If you ever forget your Password you will have to return the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
to its factory settings (see page 18).
admin
is then again assigned as the Pass-
word. Please bear in mind that this will return all the configuration settings to the
factory settings.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until the new
SSID has been entered in them as well.
