●
name is used to differentiate amongst other links.

SSID - The wireless link name used by both radios. Both AP and Station must use the same SSID to associate
●
with each other.

●
see passphrase in plain text. Enter any combination of printable characters. The passphrase should be
between 8 to 63 characters in length. The Encryption Key must be the same on both the Access Point and
Station for them to communicate with each other.
