25.3 SSID
The SSID screens allow you to configure three different types of profiles for your
networked APs: an SSID list, which can assign specific SSID configurations to your
APs; a security list, which can assign specific encryption methods to the APs when
allowing wireless clients to connect to them; and a MAC filter list, which can limit
connections to an AP based on wireless clients MAC addresses.
25.3.1 SSID List
This screen allows you to create and manage SSID configurations that can be used
by the APs. An SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, is basically the name of the
wireless network to which a wireless client can connect. The SSID appears as
readable text to any device capable of scanning for wireless frequencies (such as
the WiFi adapter in a laptop), and is displayed as the wireless network name when
a person makes a connection to it.
To access this screen click Configuration > Object > AP Profile > SSID.
Note: You can have a maximum of 64 SSID profiles on the NXC.
