hessid

Configures the HESSID (Homogeneous Extended Service Set Identifier) for the hotspot. The HESSID uniquely identifies a hotspot provider within a zone. This is essential in zones (such as an airport or shopping mall) having multiple hotspot service providers with overlapping coverage.

An HESSID is a 6 (six) byte identifier that uniquely identifies a set of APs belonging to the same network and exhibiting same network behaviour. It is the BSSID of one of the devices (AP) in the zone. When not configured, the radio‘s BSSID is used as the HESSID.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000
