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 the same SSID to the phone that is also assigned to access points in the
wireless network. Several access points can share the same SSID on a network or
subnetwork.
To assign an SSID to a network profile, you can choose the "Any" option so the
phone can access all access points. Or you can choose the "Specify" option and
enter a specific SSID. An SSID can have any value but cannot exceed 32 alpha
numeric characters.
To configure the SSID setting, follow these steps:
