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
WAP5605. 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.
A Basic Service Set (BSS) exists when all communications between wireless clients or
between a wireless client and a wired network client go through one access point (AP).
Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless clients in the BSS. When Intra-BSS is enabled,
wireless clients can access the wired network and communicate with each other. When
Intra-BSS is disabled, wireless clients can still access the wired network but cannot
communicate with each other.
