Setting the Primary SSID
A Service Set IDentifier (SSID) is a recognizable text string that identifies a
wireless network. All wireless clients that want to connect to a network
through an access point must set their SSIDs to match that of the access point.
The Access Point 420 supports up to eight SSID interfaces. This allows traffic
to be separated for different user groups using a single access point that
services one area. For each SSID interface, different security settings, VLAN
assignments, and other parameters can be applied.
The first SSID interface created on the access point is set as the primary. The
primary SSID is the only SSID broadcast in the access point’s beacon frames.
You should set the SSID for the primary interface before creating secondary
interfaces.
To set the access point’s primary SSID, click the Wireless Interfaces tab and
then for the primary SSID, click the
[Modify] button. Enter a text string up to
32 characters in the SSID Name box. Click the
[Apply Changes] button to save the
setting.
