Field Description
SSID
Choose SSID Select an SSID from the Choose SSID dropdown
list.
To add/remove SSIDs from this list, click WLAN

SSID Options
Allow Default SSID If this option is enabled, a wireless device will be
allowed to connect even without requesting a
specific SSID (i.e., “default” or “any” SSID) to the
Extricom WLAN. If this option is disabled, then a
wireless device needs to connect to a specific SSID
in the Extricom WLAN.
Display SSID in
Beacon
This option provides an additional (though limited)
level of security. The AP sends out a beacon with
information about the network. If this option is
enabled, the SSID appears in the beacon. If disabled,
the SSID does not appear in the beacon.
Allow Store &
Forward
If this option is enabled, two wireless devices
connected to the Extricom WLAN with the same
SSID can communicate and transfer data to each
other without going through a router. Traffic
between wireless devices will not be forwarded to
the LAN switch.
If this option is disabled, all traffic goes through the
LAN switch. Wireless devices will not be able to
communicate without going through a router. This
could be used by IT managers to apply security
settings or various policies in the LAN network.
