An SSID is a unique identifier that Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920s use to
communicate with each other through one or more access points (APs). You must
assign an SSID to the phone that is also assigned to APs in the wireless network.
Several APs can share the same SSID on a network or subnetwork.
You can assign up to four SSIDs to a phone. For SSID1, you can choose "Any" so
the phone can access all APs. Or you can choose "Specify" and enter a specific
SSID. An SSID can have any value but cannot exceed 32 digits.To configure the
SSID setting, use the following steps:
