which devices are connected to the access point without having to memorize
every MAC address. This name is included in the access point's list of
connected devices.

Each computer on the network should have a unique client name.
Note
The service set identifier (SSID) identifies the specific wireless network that
you want to access.

Note If you leave this parameter blank, your client adapter can associate to
any access point on the network that is configured to allow broadcast
SSIDs (see the AP Radio Hardware page in the Access Point
Management System). If the access points with which you wish to
communicate are not configured to allow broadcast SSIDs, the value
of this parameter must match the SSID of the access points.
Otherwise, you cannot access the network.
An optional SSID that identifies a second distinct network and enables you to
roam to that network without having to reconfigure your client adapter. See
the note below.
Range: Up to 32 characters (case sensitive)
An optional SSID that identifies a third distinct network and enables you to
roam to that network without having to reconfigure your client adapter. See
the note below.
Range: Up to 32 characters (case sensitive)
If your client adapter's firmware version is below 4.04, your optional SSIDs, which are set
by the SSID2 and SSID3 parameters, are effective only for access points that are configured
to allow broadcast SSIDs (see the AP Radio Hardware page in the Access Point
Management System). To take full advantage of the optional SSID feature, upgrade your
firmware to version 4.04 or higher.
