Netgear Business Central Wireless Manager (BCWM) Guide D’Installation Rapide

Click the + New Wireless Network button.

In the SSID field, enter a WiFi network name (SSID).

You can use up to and including 32 ASCII printable (typeable) characters. Do not use extended ASCII
characters, control ASCII characters, or ASCII characters that you compose with the Alt key on your
keyboard.

By default, the application broadcasts the SSID. If you want to hide the SSID so that only users who
know the SSID can access it, clear the Broadcast SSID check box.

From the Bands menu, select the WiFi band or bands.

The default setting is 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz Radios, which applies to dual-band access points only. If
an access points supports a single band only, the access points broadcasts on that band, unless your
selection from the Bands menu disables that band.

To specify a tagged VLAN, select the Specify a tagged VLAN check box, and in the VLAN ID field,
enter the VLAN ID.

The VLAN ID is a 12-bit number that identifies the tagged VLAN. If the connection from the access
points to the Internet gateway requires an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag, you must specify a VLAN ID. If
multiple WiFi networks operate over the same physical Ethernet link, VLANs can provide isolation and
separation.

From the Authentication Type menu, select the type of authentication:

Open. You do not need to specify any additional information because the network functions without
authentication and encryption.

WPA Personal. In the Password field, you must specify the password that is required to access
the network. You can enter up to 63 alphanumeric and special characters.
