SSID
•
If using an ESS (Extended Service Set, with multiple access
points) this ID is called an ESSID (Extended Service Set Identi-
fier).
•
To communicate, all Wireless stations must use the same
SSID/ESSID.
Broadcast SSID
•
If
Enabled
, the Access Point will broadcast its name to all
Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null"
value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this
Access Point. On your PC, the Access Point will be shown in the
"Available Wireless Networks" list.
•
If
Disabled
, the Access Point will not broadcast its SSID, and on
your PC, the Access Point will NOT be shown in the "Available
Wireless Networks" list. To use the Access Point, users will have
to type in the SSID and other configuration data for the Access
Point.
If you wish to keep your Wireless LAN private (invisible to other
wireless users), you should disable the "Broadcast SSID" setting, and
only inform your colleagues of the correct SSID.
