Network Name
Note: The 9160 Wireless Gateway is not designed for multiple, simultaneous configuration
changes. If you have a network that includes multiple access points, and more than one
administrator is logged on to the Administration Web pages and making changes to the
configuration, all access points in the cluster will stay in synch but there is no guarantee
that all configuration changes specified by multiple users will be applied.
Field Description
Administrator Password
Enter a new administrator password. The characters you enter will be displayed as “ * ” char-
acters to prevent others from seeing your password as you type.
The Administrator password must be an alphanumeric string of up to 8 characters. Do not use
special characters or spaces.
As an immediate first step in securing your wireless network, we recommend that
you change the administrator password from the default.
Administrator Password
(again)
Re-enter the new administrator password to confirm that you typed it as intended.
Wireless Network Name
(SSID)
Enter a name for the wireless network as a character string. This name will apply to all access
points on this network. As you add more access points, they will share this
SSID .
The Service Set Identifier (
SSID ) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters
Note: If you are connected as a wireless client to the same AP that you are admin-
istering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose connectivity to the AP. You
will need to reconnect to the new SSID after you save this new setting.
