This is the index number of each SSID profile.

Active

This field indicates whether this SSID is active.

SSID

An SSID profile is the set of parameters relating to one of the ZyXEL

Device’s BSSs. The SSID (Service Set IDentifier) identifies the Service

Set with which a wireless device is associated.

This field displays the name of the wireless profile on the network. When

a wireless client scans for an AP to associate with, this is the name that

is broadcast and seen in the wireless client utility.

Security

This field indicates the security mode of the SSID profile.

Modify

Click the

Edit

icon to configure the SSID profile.

Click the

Remove

icon to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so

a station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey

tool.
