[Simple AP Mode Setting] | Manually configure a setting to operate this machine as a Wi-Fi Direct group owner. [SSID]: Enter the SSID to use this machine as a Wi-Fi Direct group owner (using up to 32 bytes). This option is available when a terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Direct is connected to this machine. The SSID specified here is displayed on the Wi-Fi Direct (setting) screen of the terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Direct. If you cannot connect to this machine by specifying the SSID on the Wi-Fi Direct (setting) screen, specify [Virtual SSID] on the Wi-Fi (setting) screen to make a connection.

A virtual SSID is displayed on the Wi-Fi (setting) screen of a terminal incompatible with Wi-Fi Direct. The virtual SSID is displayed with "DIRECT-XXXXXX" ("XXXXXX" indicates a combination of the random alphanumeric characters and the specified value of [SSID]). |
TipsFor details on the Wi-Fi Direct connection method, refer to the user's manual of your terminal.
If [Wireless Channel Settings] is set to [Auto], it may cause a Wi-Fi Direct connection failure on some Android terminals. In this case, change the [Wireless Channel Settings] setting to the fixed channel, then retry a connection.
