Mobile Unit Properties

The Mobile Unit tab in Advanced Properties configures the adapter's ESSID, Preferred and
Mandatory BSSIDs, and Power Management.
• Enter a 32-character (maximum) case-sensitive ESS ID (802.11 Extended Service
Set Identifier) in the ESSID field to identify the wireless local area network. This
identifier must match the ESSID in the 802.11 access point(s) on your network in
order for your WLAN adapter to communicate with the access point(s). If you don't
know your ESSID, ask your IS department personnel for assistance.
• The Preferred BSS ID is the IEEE MAC address of the access point (AP) where the
adapter prefers to associate. The adapter gives higher priority to this AP when
communicating on the network.
• The Mandatory BSS ID address is the IEEE MAC address of the access point (AP)
where the adapter must associate. The adapter only associates to this access point
when communicating on the network.
