SSID: Service Set Identifier.
The ‘name’ of a wireless
network. In an open wireless
network, the SSID is
broadcast; in a closed system
it is not. The SSID must be
known by a potential client for
it to be able to access the
wireless network.
All devices connecting to the pX2 in a given network must use the
SSID of the pX2. This unique network address is not only a security
feature for a particular network, but also allows other networks - with
their own unique network address - to operate in the same area
without the possibility of undesired data exchange between networks.
