on the LAN.
Hotspots

wireless access point available. These
wireless connections could be located, for
example, at a library or cyber cafe.
Wireless Access Point

Security Set Identifier
(SSID)
A sequence of characters uniquely defining
(naming) a WLAN. Basically, each set of
wireless devices communicating with each
other is called a basic service set (BSS).
Several BSSs can be joined to form one
logical WLAN, called an extended service
set (ESS). An SSID is simply the 1-32
alphanumeric, case sensitive name given
to each ESS.
