Description

On this page, you specify the configuration of the wireless network. This includes

the network name and the transmission mode. If you are configuring the

SCALANCE W 788-2pro model, this page appears a second time to allow you to

configure the second wireless adapter. You can make different settings for

"WLAN1" and "WLAN2".

SSID Text Box

Enter the name of your network in this box. The SCALANCE W 788 allows all char-

acters except the percent character for the SSID. To ensure compatibility with part-

ner devices, you should, however, not use any characters that are peculiar to a

particular language (for example German umlauts ä, ö etc.).

Wireless Mode List Box

Select a wireless mode that is supported by all partner devices. On the

SCALANCE W 788-2pro, it may be a practical to set a different transmission mode

for each wireless adapter to allow optimum support of different clients.

Note

In the version for USA/Canada, it is only possible to set a wireless mode operating

at 2.4 GHz.
