to determine which devices are connected to the access point without
having to memorize every MAC address. This name is included in the
access point's list of connected devices.

If you leave this parameter blank, your client adapter can
associate to any access point on the network that is configured
to allow broadcast SSIDs (see the AP Radio Hardware page in
the access point management system). If the access point with
which the client adapter is to communicate is not configured to
allow broadcast SSIDs, the value of this parameter must match
the SSID of the access point. Otherwise, the client adapter
cannot access the network.
Each computer on the network should have a unique client
name.
Description

connected to a wired Ethernet network
through an access point.
Often referred to as ad hoc or peer-to-peer
mode. Indicates that your wireless network
consists of a few wireless devices that are
not connected to a wired Ethernet network
through an access point.
