Configuring the Access Point
To configure the Aironet Access Point so it will
communicate with other nodes 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 (SSID)
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) 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. Nodes associating to the 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 SSID.
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.
