DTUS065 rev A.7 – June 27, 2014
When this is checked, a multi-selection field replaces the single ESSID field.
You can select several SSIDs with their security parameters, and the client
will associate to any AP advertising one of these combinations. In case
several matching APs are in range, you can prioritize the SSIDs.
When using multiple ESSIDs, the roaming features are not available, and the
security is defined together with the corresponding ESSID in a separate
menu, see section
VI.1.2.2 – Wireless SSID
.
ESSID:
This is the wireless network name. See section “
802.11 modes
” for more
details.
Hide ESSID (only in Access point mode):
This option allows you to not broadcast the SSID on the network. This
means that your clients need to know the SSID beforehand, since scanning
will not reveal the SSID of the AP.
Mesh ID (only in Mesh mode):
This option replaces the ESSID when the Mesh mode is selected. It has the
same purpose.
BSSID of the next repeater (only in Repeater mode):
In Repeater mode, devices must be chained. This option represents the
BSSID of the next link in the chain.
Wireless network nicknames (only in client mode):
On this list you have all SSID configured previously. Please see section
VI.1.2.2 – Wireless SSID
for more details.
The client interface will associate with one of the SSIDs selected in this list,
at a time.
Network:
This option allows selecting the network where the interface is added. Please
see section
Network
for more details on network management.
