The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a wireless client is

Name(SSID)

associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable characters found on a typical

or

English language keyboard) for the wireless LAN.

You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service Sets) on the

Name(SSID1~3)

WAP3205 v2. This allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs

 

simutaneously. You can then assign varying security types to different SSIDs. Wireless

 

clients can use different SSIDs to associate with the same access point.

 

 

Hide

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a wireless client

 

cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

 

 

Enable Intra-

A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or

BSS Traffic

between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).

 

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled,

 

wireless clients can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When

 

Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless clients can still access the wired network but cannot

 

communicate with each other.
