	Service set identifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Wi-Fi Wireless LAN computer networking, a service set identifier (SSID) is a code attached to all packets on a wireless network to identify each packet as part of that network.
		The code is a case sensitive text string which consists of a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters.
		The SSID on wireless clients can be set either manually, by entering the SSID into the client network settings, or automatically, by leaving the SSID unspecified or blank.

		A service set identifier (SSID) is a code attached to all packets on a wireless network to identify each packet as part of that network.
		Each of these different types may be referred to in general terms as SSID.
		A network's SSID is often referred to as the "network name".

	Definition of SSID
		Stands for "Service Set Identifier." An SSID is a unique ID that consists of 32 characters and is used for naming wireless networks.
		The SSID is different than the name that is assigned to a wireless router.
		Each packet sent over a wireless network includes the SSID, which ensures that the data being sent over the air arrives at the correct location.

	CAPP/SSID - What is the SSID?
		The SSID supports more accurate collection of student academic preparation and assessment data as well as student participation in other programs (Migrant Ed., Professional/ Technical Education, etc.) When fully implemented, the SSID will minimize the burden on school districts when providing student data to the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) and postsecondary institutions.
		The SSID also facilitates the electronic transfer among districts of the extensive range of data available on each student via the Oregon Student Record (OSR).
		The primary value of the SSID to districts is that it gives them new access to longitudinal information about student assessments and the ability to track performance of students in various educational programs.

	University's Wireless SSID to Change to "utexas"
		An SSID is also referred to as a network name because it is essentially the name that identifies a wireless network.
		Using the default SSID allowed most users to connect to the University's network without having to know or to enter the appropriate SSID into their wireless connection settings.
		By using "utexas" as the SSID, the University will allow users to know immediately that they are using The University of Texas at Austin's wireless network, and that they should expect the University's computing and networking rules to apply.

	Configuring Multiple SSIDs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity.
		You can include spaces in an SSID, but be careful not to add spaces to an SSID accidentally, especially trailing spaces (spaces at the end of an SSID).
		If the SSID that the client used to associate to the access point matches an entry in the allowed list returned by the RADIUS server, the client is allowed network access after completing all authentication requirements.

		Please note that with each new computer that is added to the Wireless Network, after disabling SSID Broadcast, may not be able to communicate after being configured for the network.

		SSIDs are not allowed to have special characters in them, nor underscores (for those who do not consider it a special character).
		If the character is embedded into the SSID name, you should be able to use it by asking your iPAQ to connect to that SSID.

	SSID definition - isp.webopedia.com - The Glossary for Internet Service Providers
		Short for service set identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS.
		The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID.
		Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet it does not supply any security to the network.

	Your SSID Isn’t Hidden Forever
		The reason is that disabling SSID broadcasting is supposed to hide and protect their wireless network.
		The SSID is contained in the 802.11 association request, and in certain instances, the probe request and response packets as well, even though you have SSID broadcasting disabled.
		For example, the SSID of your network could be found by AirMagnet when a computer on your network is booted up and causes the wireless client to send an association request packet to the wireless access point to gain access to the network.

	service set identifier - a Whatis.com definition
		A service set identifier (SSID) is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a wireless local area network (WLAN).
		The purpose of SSID is to help stations in department A find and connect to APs in department A, ignoring APs belonging to department B. Each AP advertises its presence several times per second by broadcasting beacon frames that carry the ESS name (SSID).
		However, it is not possible to keep an SSID value secret, because the actual SSID (ESS name) is carried in several frames.

		However, the SSID is misunderstood--in fact, it works quite well for its intended purpose.
		Since beacon frames are public, unencrypted frames, the SSID is exposed to all listeners.
		The role played by the SSID in managing WLAN workstations and APs requires it be a public field.

	Wi-Fi Planet Forums - SSID Broadcast
		Disabling SSID broadcast may add slightly to the difficulty of a wardriver spotting your access point (though generally on finding a beacon a probe is issued anyway).
		The method that 802.11 vendors use to hide the WLAN's SSID is to hide the Broadcast SSID in the BEACONs frames.
		Sure, disabling the SSID will stop your neighbor with half a brain using windows XP from seeing your network, but it is by no means a security measure to protect your WLAN.

	What SSID is Right for You?
		Thus, the default SSID allows associations to occur, which means that you don't have to change the SSID from the default value to make your wireless LAN work.
		The problem with using the default SSID is that some confusion might result if a company or home owner next to you sets up a wireless LAN with the same vendor's access points.
		If both of you don't implement some form of security, which is commonly the case in both homes and companies, and you're both within range of each other, then the your wireless clients can mistakenly associate with your neighbor's access point (and vice versa).
