(SSID)

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a string of up to 32 characters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to as the Network Name.

Two SSIDs are shown: one for each Radio on the Internal interface.

Configuring "Guest" Network Wireless Settings

The Guest Settings describe the MAC Address (read-only) and wireless network name (SSID) for the Guest Network as described below. Configuring an access point with two different network names (SSIDs) allows you to leverage the Guest interface feature on the AT-TQ2403 Management Software. For more information, see “Setting up Guest Access”.

Field

 

Description

MAC Address

 

Shows the MAC address for the Guest interface for this access point. This

 

 

is a read- only field that you cannot change.

 

 

Although this access is point is physically a single device, it can be

 

 

represented on the network as two or more nodes each with a unique

 

 

MAC Address. This is accomplished by using multiple Basic Service Set

 

 

Identifiers (BSSID) for a single access point.

 

 

The MAC address(es) shown for the "Guest" access point is the BSSID(s)

 

 

for the "Guest" interface.

 

 

Two MAC addresses are shown, one for each Radio on the Guest

 

 

interface.

 

 

Wireless Network Name

Enter the SSID for the guest network.

(SSID)

 

The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a string of up to 32 characters that

 

 

 

 

uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to as

 

 

the Network Name. There are no restrictions on the characters that may

 

 

be used in an SSID.

 

 

For the guest network, provide an SSID that is different from the internal

 

 

SSID and easily identifiable as the "guest" network.

 

 

Two SSIDs are shown, one for each Radio on the Guest interface.
