Access Point. In Infrastructure mode, the wireless searches all
available wireless channels to associate with an Access Point.
Enter a 32-character (maximum) Service Set ID in this field; the
characters are case sensitive. When the wireless node is operating in
Ad-Hoc mode, this field operates as the Basic Service Set ID (BSSID).
