of available wireless cards the FWG114P has discovered in your area, or you can manually
enter the MAC address and Device Name (usually the NetBIOS name).

Note: If you are configuring the FWG114P from a wireless PC and you change the
wireless firewall/print server’s SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your
wireless connection when you click on Apply. You must then change the wireless
settings of your PC to match the FWG114P’s new settings.
