Service Set ID. It is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish among multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity. The SSID can be any alphanumeric entry up to 32 characters long.

Caution	The Broadcast SSID setting must be enabled on your wireless access points. Otherwise, your DMPs are
	prevented from connecting to your WLAN or obtaining IP addresses.
Caution	When you change SSID settings for your WLAN, your DMPs lose their wireless network connections.
	Because they are disconnected, they cannot reconnect automatically. In this case, affected DMPs will appear to
	associate to your WLAN access point but will not receive any IP address.

TKIP	Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, also known as key hashing, is used as part of server-based
	EAP authentication.

WEP	Wired Equivalent Privacy is a method to encrypt data transmitted on a wireless network.
WEP keys	Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) keys are the IEEE 802.11b standard that offers a mechanism for
	securing wireless LAN data streams. The goals of WEP include access control to prevent unauthorized
	users who lack a correct WEP key from gaining access to the network, and privacy to protect wireless
	LAN data streams by encrypting them and allowing de-encryption only by users with the correct
	WEP keys.
WPA	Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA is a standards-based, interoperable security enhancement that strongly
	increases the level of data protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems.
	It is derived from and will be forward-compatible with the upcoming IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA
	leverages TKIP for data protection and 802.1X for authenticated key management.
