SSID

CAUTION:

The net-

work is not fully

secure until the radio
SSIDs have been
changed from their de-
fault settings.

The service set identifier associated with each VAP is a unique
string of up to 32 characters included in the packet headers of
wireless traffic. SSIDs are used like passwords to identify
which devices can connect to the wireless network and to
determine the parameters of their access once they are
connected.
