Service Set ID (SSID)
An SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access
point. SSIDs help client devices distinguish between multiple wireless networks
in the same vicinity and provide access to VLANs by wireless client devices.
Several access points on a network or sub-network can share an SSID. You can
configure up to 16 SSIDs on an access point. An SSID can be any alphanumeric,
case-sensitive entry from 2 to 32 characters long.
Click more to go to the AP Radio Service Sets page where you can create
additional SSIDs. From this page you can also edit an existing SSID or remove
one from the system.
You can also enter this setting on the Express Setup page.
LEAP User Name
Use this field if the radio is set up as a repeater and authenticates to the network
using LEAP. When the radio authenticates using LEAP, the access point sends this
user name to the authentication server.
Follow the steps in the “Setting up a Repeater Access Point as a LEAP Client”
section on page 8-27 to set up the radio as a LEAP client.
LEAP Password
Use this field if the radio is set up as a repeater and authenticates to the network
using LEAP. When the radio authenticates using LEAP, the access point uses this
password for authentication.
Follow the steps in the “Setting up a Repeater Access Point as a LEAP Client”
section on page 8-27 to set up the radio as a LEAP client.
Entering Radio Hardware Information
You use the AP Radio Hardware page to assign settings related to the access
point’s radio hardware. Figure 3-5 shows the AP Radio Hardware page.
