•
Name/ESSID
: Type a short name (2-31 characters) for this WLAN. In general,
the WLAN name is the same as the advertised SSID (the name of the wireless
network as displayed in the client’s wireless configuration program). However,
you can also separate the ESSID from the WLAN name by entering a name for
the WLAN in the first field, and a broadcast SSID in the second field. In this way,
you can advertise the same SSID in multiple locations (controlled by the same
SCG) while still being able to manage the different WLANs independently. Each
WLAN “name” must be unique within the SCG, while the broadcast SSID can
be the same for multiple WLANs.

Description
: Enter a brief description of the qualifications or purpose of this
WLAN (for example,
Engineering
or
Voice
).
