Use this screen to enter the SSID, select the channel and enable intra-BSS traffic.

Note: If you are configuring the WAP3205 from a computer connected to the wireless 

LAN and you change the WAP3205’s SSID, channel or security settings, you 
will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must 
then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the WAP3205’s 
new settings.

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the Service Set with which a 
wireless client is associated. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 
characters found on a typical English language keyboard) for the wireless 
LAN. 

You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service 
Sets) on the WAP3205. This allows you to use one access point to provide 
several BSSs simutaneously. You can then assign varying security types to 
different SSIDs. Wireless clients can use different SSIDs to associate with 
the same access point.

Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a 

wireless client cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site 
survey tool.
