You can leave SSID blank if your campus has an open network (i.e. broadcasts the SSID for your Newton to pickup). Otherwise, in the case of a closed network, set SSID to network name that you want your Newton to connect to. Setting the SSID is handy when using different worksites from your owner settings.

Not much else, unless you need to access a web page to login first. The Wifi will be working but you won't get any valid DNS results (internet errors) until you do.

Leave as DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), unless you know how to configure your own network.
Happy to help...
