B-1 SSID
The SSID is a unique ID given to the Access Point. Wireless clients associating to any Access
Point must have the same SSID. Select
Specify SSID as
and enter a specific SSID (Access
Point) you desire to connect with. Alternatively, you may select
Use Non-Specified SSID
(default setting). This allows your wireless adapter to automatically associate to any Access
Point in the vicinity of your wireless adapters. You can leave Use Non-Specified ESSIS filed
blank, or enter the name “
ANY
” (all characters in upper-case). It is recommended you select the
Specify SSID
option. This will prevent your computer from unintentionally connecting to a
different wireless network. If there are more than two Access Points using the same SSID, you
may specify the one you want to connect with by entering its MAC address in the
Preferred
BSSID
field. By clicking the “
Browse
” button you may select the MAC address of the Access
Point you desire to connect to.
When moving your computer to another location within the network environment, and it is out of
range of the current Access Point, the roaming functionality will automatically connect your
computer to the newest Access Point. This is so called “Roaming” functionality. For further
description, see the following page and the Appendix A on page 30.
