BSSID SSID Secure Beacon
1 MOTO-DATA Disabled
2 MOTO-GUEST Enabled
3 MOTO-VOICE Disabled
CAUTION: The SSID is not designed nor intended as a security mechanism. Motorola
does not recommend using the SSID as a mode of security.
CAUTION: Disabling SSID broadcasts may have adverse effects on Wi-Fi interoperability
for mixed-client deployments. In addition disabling the SSID in the beacon is not
recommended for WLANs providing real-time services (such as VoIP) as roaming can be
impacted.
