Network

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

Name(SSID)

wireless client is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable

or

characters found on a typical English language keyboard) for the wireless

LAN.

 

Name(SSID1

You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service

~3)

Sets) on the WAP3205. 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 SSID

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.
