General Options
• Name/ESSID : Type a short name for this WLAN. The SSID must contain between
1 and 32 characters. Allowable characters include printable ASCII characters from
space (char 32) to ~ (char 126). A space can be used in the name, but the name
cannot begin or end with a space character. If a space is included at the beginning
or end of the ESSID, it will be automatically removed. If a disallowed ASCII character
(not within the range 32-126) is included, an error message will appear.
• 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 ZoneDirector) while still being able to manage the different WLANs
independently. Each WLAN "name" must be unique within ZoneDirector, while
the broadcast SSID can be the same for multiple WLANs.
• Description: Enter a brief description of the qualifications/purpose for this WLAN,
e.g., "Engineering" or "Voice."
WLAN Usage Types
Each WLAN must be configured as one of the following five usage types:
• Standard Usage : To create a WLAN with specific options, choose "Standard Usage."
• Guest Access : Select a default "Guest Access" WLAN with open authentication and
customizable encryption (see Configuring Guest Access on page 237). Guest WLANs
