ESS ID
The ESS ID (Extended Service Set ID) is an identification assigned to the access point the Wireless LAN Card connects to. Wireless devices connecting to an access point must use the same ESS ID. The ESS ID can be up to 32 characters and is case sensitive.
The default ESS ID setting is ANY, which allows the Wireless LAN PC Card to automatically associate to any available access point.
To specify a different ESS ID, select the ESS ID check box and enter the new ESS ID.
BSS ID
When an access point is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless devices, it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS). Wireless devices in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID.
If your network uses multiple access points with the same ESS ID, you can specify the BSS ID (Basic Service Set ID) address of the access point that offers the strongest wireless signal. This is also known as a MAC address (Media Access Control) address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies an access point.
To specify a unique BSS ID, select the BSS ID check box and enter the
ESS ID.
