The following options are available with this command:
◗ SSID
An SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a unique name shared among all devices in
a wireless network. Choose the network (SSID) or choose Add /Remove SSIDs
from the pull-down list. If you add an SSID, the new SSID can be up to 32
alphanumeric characters and the characters are case-sensitive. In addition to
adding and/or deleting SSIDs, this option allows you to edit an existing SSID
name.
• Choosing an Existing SSID
To choose an existing SSID, simply select it from the pull-down list.
• Editing the Name of an Existing SSID
To edit the name of an existing SSID, choose an SSID from the pull-down
list then click on the Edit SSID Name button. The SSID name is now
editable and you can change it by over-typing on the existing name. If
you do this, you must click on the Update button to apply your change.
• Creating a New SSID
To create a new SSID, choose Add/Remove SSIDs from the pull-down list
to reveal the Add/Remove SSID window.

wireless modules in your Access/One Network (recommended).
