Remarks
SSID B Short for Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a Wireless LAN (WLAN) that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to
connect to the Wireless LAN. The SSID differentiates one LAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific Wireless LAN must use the same SSID. A device
will not be permitted to join the WLAN unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet it does not supply any security to the network. An SSID is also
referred to as a network name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.
I declare that the above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. Practices are in place or will be
immediately upon activation of wireless devices.
