It is often represented such as a network name or a wireless router name. SSID distinguishes one wireless LAN from another to prevent interference. The printer and all clients on a wireless LAN must use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The SSID can be up to 32 characters long, and is made up of alphanumeric characters. The SSID may also be referred to by its network name. • Stealth In the stealth mode, a wireless router hides itself by not broadcasting its SSID. The client must specify the SSID set to the wireless router to detect it. • Subnet Mask IP address has two components, the network address and the host address.
