The AP Radio Hardware page also contains a link to the AP Radio Data
Encryption page, which you use to enter Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
settings.
Service Set ID (SSID)
The SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access
point radio. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple wireless
networks in the same vicinity. The SSID can be any alphanumeric entry up to 32
characters long.
You can also enter this setting on the Express Setup and AP Radio Identification
pages.
Allow Broadcast SSID to Associate?
You use this setting to choose whether devices that do not specify an SSID
(devices that are “broadcasting” in search of an access point to associate with) are
allowed to associate to this radio.
•
Yes—This is the default setting; it allows devices that do not specify an SSID
(devices that are “broadcasting” in search of an access point to associate with)
to associate to this radio.
•
No—Devices that do not specify an SSID (devices that are “broadcasting” in
search of an access point to associate with) are not allowed to associate to this
radio. With no selected, the SSID used by the client device must match
exactly the radio’s SSID.
