SSID
Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must 
use the same 
 (Service Set Identifier). 
The default SSID for the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl is ConnectionPoint. For security rea-
sons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data trans-
missions and your Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl's SSID will be displayed on PCs that have a 
wireless network adapter. In this case, unauthorised persons could use the SSID to gain 
access to your 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.
ì
Deactivate the option SSID broadcast and make a note of the SSID. You will need 
this to log on your PC. 
ì
Click Next > to proceed to the next step.
Please remember:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until the new 
SSID has been entered in them as well.
