Configuring SSIDs
An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of the network. Wireless devices must connect to a
specific SSID which determines the pre-defined set of privileges, settings, and limitations (such as
security definitions, access privileges, VLAN assignments, etc.) of the network. Each channel can
support multiple SSIDs, thus creating “virtual” networks on the same channel.
