Step 14 Select SSID under Property. Then enter your RF network’s case-sensitive SSID in the Value box.
Step 15 Select Client Name under Property. Then enter your Windows CE device’s unique client name in the
Value box.
SSID The service set identifier (SSID) identifies the specific wireless
network that you want to access.
Range: Up to 32 characters (case sensitive)
Note If you leave this parameter blank, your client adapter can
associate to any access point on the network that is
configured to allow broadcast SSIDs (see the AP Radio
Hardware page in the access point management system). If
the access point with which the client adapter is to
communicate is not configured to allow broadcast SSIDs,
the value of this parameter must match the SSID of the
access point. Otherwise, the client adapter cannot access the
network.
Client Name A logical name for your Windows CE device. It allows an administrator
to determine which devices are connected to the access point without
having to memorize every MAC address. This name is included in the
access point’s list of connected devices.
Range: Up to 16 characters
Note Each computer on the network should have a unique client
name.
