Table 5-2 System Parameters
Parameter Description
Client Name A logical name for your workstation. It enables an administrator to
determine which devices are connected to the access point without
having to memorize every MAC address. This name is included in the
access point’s list of connected devices.
Range: Up to 16 characters.
Note Each computer on the network should have a unique client
name.
SSID1 The service set identifier (SSID) identifies the specific wireless
network that you want to access.
Range: Up to 32 characters (case sensitive).
Note If you leave this parameter blank, your client adapter can
associate to any access point on the network that is configured
to allow broadcast SSIDs (refer to the AP Radio Hardware page
in the access point’s configuration screen). If the access points
with which you wish to communicate are not configured to
allow broadcast SSIDs, the value of this parameter must match
the SSID of the access points. Otherwise, you will not be able
to access the network.
SSID2 An optional SSID that identifies a second distinct network and enables
you to roam to that network without having to reconfigure your client
adapter. See the note below.
Range: Up to 32 characters (case sensitive).
SSID3 An optional SSID that identifies a third distinct network and enables
you to roam to that network without reconfiguring your client adapter.
See the note below.
Range: Up to 32 characters (case sensitive).
Note If your client adapter’s firmware version is earlier than 4.04, your optional SSIDs, which are
set by the SSID2 and SSID3 parameters, are effective only for access points that are configured
to allow broadcast SSIDs (see the AP Radio Hardware page in the access point’s configuration
screen). To take full advantage of the optional SSID feature, upgrade your firmware to version
4.04 or later.
