Autogeneration

Click the check box to have the ZyXEL Device generate an SSID.

Name (SSID) The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless

device is associated. Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must

have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII

characters) for the wireless LAN.

Note: If you are configuring the ZyXEL Device from a computer connected to the

wireless LAN and you change the ZyXEL Device’s SSID or WEP settings, you

will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must

then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the ZyXEL

Device’s new settings.

Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station

cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Security Mode See the following sections for more details about this field.

MAC Filter This shows whether the wireless devices with the MAC addresses listed are allowed

or denied to access the ZyXEL Device using this SSID.
