SSID2:
The SSID is the network name shared among all devices in a
wireless network. The WRP400 can support up to two wireless networks.
By default, one wireless network is enabled, and you can create a second
wireless network.
Configure the following settings for each wireless network:
-
Wireless Network Name (SSID):
The default wireless network uses
this name: “cisco” followed by the last four digits of the wireless MAC
address of the WRP400. To rename the default wireless network, enter a
unique Wireless Network Name, which is case-sensitive and must not
exceed 32 characters. You can use any of the characters on the
keyboard. To create a second wireless network, select
Network Enabled
for the SSID2 setting. Then enter a unique Wireless Network Name.
NOTE
If you are unable to configure the SSID2 settings, contact your service
provider for more information.
-
SSID Broadcast Enabled:
When wireless clients survey the local area
for wireless networks, they detect the SSID broadcast by the WRP400. If
you want to broadcast the SSID, keep the check box selected. If you do
not want to broadcast the SSID, deselect the check box.
-
For Internet Access Only:
On your second wireless network (SSID2),
you can set up guest access, which allows access to the Internet while

access the data stored on your local computers. To limit guests to
Internet access only, keep the check box selected. To allow local
network access, deselect the check box.
NOTE
The For Internet Access Only feature applies only to SSID2.
