Configuring SSIDs
An
SSID
(Service Set Identifier) is the name of the network. Wireless devices must connect to a
specific SSID which determines pre-defined set of privileges, settings, and limitations (such as
security definitions, access privileges, VLAN assignments, etc.) of the network. Each channel can
support multiple SSIDs, thus creating “virtual” networks on the same channel.
The following is the data structure used by the Extricom system:
Each radio is assigned one channel.
Both channels can support up to five different SSIDs.
Each SSID can be associated with a VLAN tag.
The same SSID name cannot be repeated for different channels.
