A. Device Name – commonly referred to as an
SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, this field allows
you to specify a device name (between 1 and
32 characters) that will broadcast
in the list of
available wireless networks
on your iPad, iPhone,
or iPod touch device. The default name is
MobileLite Wireless as seen in Figure 5.1.
B. Visibility Status – this gives you the option to
hide or unhide the SSID specified in the ‘Device
Name’ field. By default, the visibility status is
turned ‘ON’. If you wish to turn this feature
‘OFF’, the device name will NOT be
broadcasted

If the visibility status has been turned off, you can still join the MobileLite Wireless network by entering the SSID manually on your iPad,
iPhone, or iPod touch, as long as you know the ‘Device Name’ (Step A). Please note that a password will be required if the security option is
enabled.
