(e.g. 192.168.0.1) in your Web browser for it to display a convenient user interface giving
you access to all of the router’s options.
Caution – we are here: SSID broadcast (WLAN)
As explained in the technical glossary, the abbreviation SSID stands for the network
name sent out to all wireless network devices within range, informing them of the pres-
ence of a network with this identication. Some routers, however, have an option to
suppress the broadcast of the network name. The option is a toggle that is usually called
SSID broadcast. If the broadcast is disabled, you must know the name in order to enter
it manually when setting up the NOXON.
Device ID: the MAC address
Theso-calledMACaddressisauniqueidentierassignedtoallnetworkdevices.The
MAC address is permanently assigned to the device and cannot be modied. It can
thereforebeusedtocongurerouterstopermitonlydeviceswithspecicMACaddress-
estoaccessthenetworkortheInternet.Insuchacase,itwillbenecessarytocongure
the router with the NOXON’s MAC address so that it will be able to establish a network
connection and access data in the network. The address can be found on a label on the
back of the NOXON.
Sometimes required: a xed IP
Under certain circumstances, it can be useful for a device to always have the same
address. Most networks these days are set up to assign the so-called IP address - the
identierfortheTCP/IPprotocol-dynamically.Inotherwords,thersttimeadevicecon-
nects, the so-called DHCP server assigns it a valid IP address which the device will keep
as long as the address is not needed elsewhere.
This occurs completely automatically, without the user’s knowledge. If a network
is based on static IPs - i.e. xed addresses, rather than dynamically assigned ones
- there will generally be a precise set of rules governing the addresses that can be
assigned. And our friend the NOXON also has such an IP address. If the network
requires a xed address, the rules for assigning them must be known. But once
again, a xed IP is really the exception; generally, everything happens automatically.
Switching it on for the rst time
