Beacon ESSID State
: When set to
DISABLED
, the ESSID is not sent in beacons issued by
this wireless interface. Since the ESSID is no longer sent, clients cannot display it in their
list of available networks and automatically send it in a response to try to associate.
Therefore, only clients that have had the ESSID manually entered into their preferred
wireless network list can associate with the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge. The default state is to send
the ESSID in beacons (
ENABLED
) until this command is sent.
