6.7 Description of Mobile Gateway System (MGS) Wireless SSID
Naming
6.7.1 Wireless SSID Methodology
In order to connect the wireless components of the Mobile Gateway System (MGS), each
must be configured with a matching SSID. On the Gateway Router, the access point and
the wireless mesh SSIDs must be configured. Once completed, the PDA Client and
administrative workstation running ADMS must also be configured. It is recommended
that the access point and wireless mesh SSIDs follow the naming conventions provided
by this document.
Each MGS uses two SSID. Each of those SSIDs must be unique, both inside the MGS
and between MGSs. In order to achieve this, it is recommended that the MGS Access
Point and Wireless Mesh are set using the Area ID as the base for the SSIDs.
The Access Point SSID should be set to thapA1.A2, where A1 and A2 are the second and
third octet of the IP address assigned to the Gateway Router.
The Wireless Mesh SSID should be set to thawdsA1.A2, where A1 and A2 are the
second and third octet of the IP address assigned to the Gateway Router.
To Calculate A1 and A2 please refer to Description of Mobile Gateway System IP
Address Methodology.
If, for example, the Area ID (located on the label on the Gateway Server) is 1234, the
resulting IP address would be 10.4.210.1. The Access Point’s SSID should be thap4.210
and the Wireless Mesh’s SSID should be thawds4.210.
