meaning that SU/RB is not associated, and the reason of rejection - wrong
ESSID.
An SU/RB that is trying to associate with AUs/BUs that are working with Hidden
ESSID will keep a list with AUs/BUs that rejected. The AU/BU will be kept in this
list until the Hidden ESSID Time-out expires for it or if the list is full and another
AU/BU that is not in the list rejects the SU/RB because of wrong ESSID.
The AU/BU that is working with Hidden ESSID enable will keep a counter that
will be incremental for each SU/RB that is rejected because of wrong ESSID.
The Operator ESSID feature still works when Hidden ESSID is enabled. The only
differences is that the Runtime ESSID displayed by SU/RB, when the SU/RB is
associated because of Operator ESSID, will be the ESSID of the SU/RB and not
the ESSID of the AU/BU as it is when Hidden ESSID is disabled.
The ESSID parameters includes the following:
ESSID The ESSID of the unit.
Valid values: A string of up to 31 printable ASCII characters, case
sensitive.

or disables the use of Operator ESSID for establishing association
