Configuring the Default Network

Each network is identified by its Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is an alphanumeric key that identifies a wireless local area network. You can configure up to 64 different networks on the D-Link WLAN Controller Switch. Each network can have a unique SSID, or you can configure multiple networks with the same SSID.
