SSID

The SSID is an identification string of up to 32 ASCII characters that differentiate one R100 Wireless Gateway Access Point (AP) from another. The SSID is also referred to as the “ESSID” or “Extended Service Set ID.” You can use the default SSID and radio channel unless more than one R100 or Access Point is deployed in the same area. In that case, you should use a different SSID and radio channel for each R100 or Access Point. All R100 Wireless Gateways and Diamond Digital 802.11g/802.11b WLAN client adaptors must have the same SSID to allow a wireless mobile client to roam between the R100s. By default, the SSID is set to “default”.
