SSID Management
This is a status only page that allows you to review SSID (Service Set IDentifier)
assignments. It includes the SSID name, whether or not an SSID is visible on the
network, any security and QoS parameters defined for each SSID, associated
VLAN IDs, and radio availability per SSID. There are no configuration options
available on this page, but if you are experiencing problems or reviewing SSID
management parameters, you may want to print this page for your records.
For information to help you understand SSIDs and how multiple SSIDs are
managed by the XS-3900, go to the Multiple SSIDs section of “Frequently Asked
Questions” on page 186.

Understanding SSIDs
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a unique identifier that wireless networking
devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access
points on a network or sub-network can use the same SSIDs. SSIDs are case-
sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters (do not include spaces
when defining SSIDs).
