ESS ID or Net ID

An ESS or Net ID identifies a radio network and differentiates between radio networks. All
equipment on one network must use the same ESS or Net ID. Spectrum24 terminals can
support the Spectrum24 802.11 or Spectrum24 Spring protocols. The menu displays the
ESS ID or Net ID, depending on which protocol you are using.

Terminals using Spectrum24 with the 802.11 protocol require an ES SID. The ES SID is a a
32-character alphanumeric value. Terminals using Spectrum24 with the Spring proprietary
network protocol require a Ne tID. The Ne tID is a three-character hexadecimal value.
