traffic, so there is no need to specify a channel.
SSID:
Officially, in wireless networks the network name is known as the SSID (Service Set
ID ent ifier), and is used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN. Your
HTK WLAN
Interface adapter scans the available channels looking for an Access Point
or another station which has specified this same SSID. It then attempts to associate with
these Access Points or stations to form a wireless LAN. To change the SSID, simply
highlight it, type the new SSID, and click the Apply button. In typical infrastructure
applications a company will use a single SSID for all Access Points. If the radio is
scanning and cannot find a channel when an Access Point is known to be in range, verify
that the Network Name is set correctly.
