WiFi Network Name (SSID)
Name of the wireless network access point used by the
WiFi adapter for connection. The network name must
match exactly the name of the wireless access point. It
is case sensitive.
When you configure a wireless network that was
selected from the WiFi Networks list, the network
name is taken from the wireless network list. You
cannot and should not change it.
<SSID not broadcast>: If an access point does not
broadcast its network name (SSID) or the WiFi adapter
receives a hidden network name from a stealth access
point, it is displayed in the WiFi Networks list. To
associate with an <SSID not broadcast> network
entry, a new profile must be created before
connection. Provide the actual SSID for the access
point. After connection, the <SSID not broadcast> is
still displayed in the WiFi Networks list. The associated
SSID profile is viewed in the Profiles list.
Operating Mode
Network (Infrastructure): Connect to an access
point. An Infrastructure network consists of one or
more access points and one or more computers with
WiFi adapters. This connection is the type used in
home networks, corporate networks, hotels, and other
areas that provide access to the network and/or the
internet.
NOTE: Only Network (Infrastructure) is available
for administrator profiles (Pre-logon/Common and
Persistent profiles). See the
Administrator Tool for
more information.
Device to Device (ad hoc): Connect directly to other
computers in an ad hoc wireless network. This type of
connection is useful for connections between two or
more computers only. It does not provide access to
network resources or the internet.
