If you are setting up a network with NO wired clients (WLAN only), you must change each
client’s wireless adapter settings to match the Intel® Wireless Gateway settings. Use the factory
default for the Intel® Wireless Gateway, unless the default settings have been changed. In this
case, note the changes, and use the new settings for each wireless adapter. For assistance
configuring a wireless adapter, see the adapter’s documentation.
The network name, or SSID, is a value that identifies a collection of wireless devices found in a
particular network. The network administrator or an authorized person for your network assigns a
network name (SSID) to the wireless network. When a computer tries to join a wireless network, it
sends the network name (SSID) to the Intel® Wireless Gateway. If the network name (SSID) of
the computer and Intel® Wireless Gateway are the same, the computer is permitted to join. For
more information about network names, see Chapter 2 of this guide.
Once you know the network name (SSID) assigned to the wireless network, enter it in the
Network Name field. The SSID can be up to 32 characters in length, and it is case sensitive. This
value may be a combination of numeric or alphanumeric characters. If you do not have a network
administrator and are setting up a new WLAN and configuring the Intel® Wireless Gateway for
the first time, keep the default value listed in Table 3.
