This shows the name of the Print Server.
•
If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with
multiple access points) this ID is called an
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier).
•
To communicate, all Wireless stations MUST
use the same SSID/ESSID. Change this value,
or change the other Wireless stations, to
ensure each Wireless station has the
same value.
•
The default value is Null, so the Wireless
station can join any Ad-Hoc group.
Note! The SSID is case sensitive.
•
The effect of this setting depends on the
[Network Type] setting:
•
In [Infrastructure] mode, this setting
has no effect. The Channel is selected
automatically, to match the Channel
used by the Access Point.
•
In Ad-Hoc mode, all Wireless stations
MUST use the same Channel number.
•
In 802.11 Ad-Hoc mode, Wireless stations
will scan all Channels looking for compatible
groups to join. The Channel setting is used
as a default Channel.
If you experience interference (shown by lost
connections and/or slow data transfers) you
may need to experiment with different channels.
