DESCRIPTION
This is turned on by default.
The current wireless state is reflected in this field.
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless client is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable
characters found on a typical English language keyboard) for the wireless
LAN.
You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service
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.
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.
