Field
Description
MAC Address
Shows the
MAC
address for the Internal interface for this access point. This is
a read-only field that you cannot change.
Although this access point is physically a single device, it can be represented
on the network as two or more nodes each with a unique MAC Address. This is
accomplished by using multiple
Basic Service Set Identifiers
(
BSSID
s) for a
single access point.
The MAC address shown for the Internal access point is the BSSID for the
Internal interface.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
Enter the SSID for the internal WLAN.
The
Service Set Identifier
(
SSID
) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32 charac-
ters that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. It is also referred to
as the
Network Name
. There are no restrictions on the characters that may be
used in an SSID.
