Wi-Fi Access Points

Wi-Fi Access Points are the communication components of a Wi-Fi Network. A working Wi-Fi Network must contain at least one Access Point. Each Wi-Fi Access Point contains a unique identifier called a BSSID; sometimes referred to as a MAC Address. The BSSID is a series of 6 two-digit pairs with periods, dashes, or semi-colons separating each pair. The digits must be hexadecimal (0-9, A-F). For example, these are valid BSSID formats:

56-ae-4d-94-3B-A4 / 56:ae:4d:94:3B:A4 / 56.ae.4d.94.3B.A4

To create a Wi-Fi Access Point from Administration > Application Setup > Common Setup > WiFi Access Points:

  1. Select Create. The Create WiFi Access Point workspace appears.
  2. Enter a Name and a Description for the new Access Point.
  3. Enter the BSSID.
  4. Save the new WiFi Access Point.

Once saved, the Access Point will be included in the list used to create the WiFi Network.
