Name (SSID)
The Service Set ID (SSID) is the name of your wireless
network. The SSID must be the same on the Barricade
and all of its wireless clients. (Default: SMC)
Broadcast Wireless

Enable or disable the broadcasting of the SSID. If you
disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the
correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless
network “discovery” feature of some products such as

DHCP IP Address
Pool
The DHCP IP Address Pool is the range of IP addresses set

Start IP This field indicates the first of the contiguous IP addresses in
the IP address pool.
End IP This field indicates the last of the contiguous IP addresses in
the IP address pool.
Domain Name The domain name is the name you assign to your network.
Lease Time The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP
address for each computer. Setting lease times for shorter
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after
the specified period of time. This also means that a particular
computer’s IP address may change over time. If you have set
any advanced features such as DMZ, this is dependent on the
IP address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address
to change.
