Configuring the Access Point
To configure the Aironet Access Point so it will communicate
with other stations or repeaters, use the Console Port to set
the SSID parameter.
If you choose to set an IP address, remote access via telnet
or an HTML browser will be possible.
SSID Identifier (ESSID)
The SSID is a unique identifier that is attached to
selected packets sent out over the radio network. This
functions as a password to join the radio network.
Stations associating to the Aironet Access Point must
use the same identifier in their configurations, or their
association requests will be ignored.
To define an SSID:
1. Select Configuration from the Main Menu.
2. Select Radio from the Configuration Menu.
3. Select ESSID.
4. Enter a value for the SSID option. You may use up
to 32 characters. All devices in the same radio
network must use the same SSID.
