18.3 SSID

The SSID screens allow you to configure three different types of profiles for your networked APs: an
SSID list, which can assign specific SSID configurations to your APs; a security list, which can
assign specific encryption methods to the APs when allowing wireless clients to connect to them;
and a MAC filter list, which can limit connections to an AP based on wireless clients MAC addresses.

18.3.1 SSID List

This screen allows you to create and manage SSID configurations that can be used by the APs. An
SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, is basically the name of the wireless network to which a wireless
client can connect. The SSID appears as readable text to any device capable of scanning for
wireless frequencies (such as the WiFi adapter in a laptop), and is displayed as the wireless network
name when a person makes a connection to it.
To access this screen click Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID.
Note: You can have a maximum of 32 SSID profiles on the NXC.
Chapter 18 AP Profile
DESCRIPTION
Set how the AP handles multicast traffic.
Select Multicast to Unicast to broadcast wireless multicast traffic to all of the wireless
clients as unicast traffic. Unicast traffic dynamically changes the data rate based on the
application's bandwidth requirements. The retransmit mechanism of unicast traffic
provides more reliable transmission of the multicast traffic, although it also produces
duplicate packets.
Select Fixed Multicast Rate to send wireless multicast traffic at a single data rate.
You must know the multicast application's bandwidth requirements and set it in the
following field.
If you set the multicast transmission mode to fixed multicast rate, set the data rate for
multicast traffic here. For example, to deploy 4 Mbps video, select a fixed multicast
rate higher than 4 Mbps.
