LABEL DESCRIPTION
ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentity) The ESSID identifies the Service Set with which a
wireless station is associated. Wireless stations associating to the access point (AP)
must have the same ESSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII
characters) for the wireless LAN.
If you are configuring the ZyAIR from a computer connected to
the wireless LAN and you change the ZyAIR’s ESSID or WEP
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 ZyAIR’s new settings.
