LANCOM-UUID verwenden
All current LANCOM access points are multi-SSID-capable. This means that they can offer different "virtual" access points to several WLAN clients at the same time.
In addition, for devices with two or more radio modules (dual radio), the BSSIDs of the logical networks refer to the corresponding radio module, but the MAC addresses of the two radio modules are completely independent of each other. This means that logical networks with different BSSIDs cannot be uniquely assigned to a device.
For network monitoring and planning, however, it is useful to be able to assign the logical networks to the corresponding devices (or radio modules) using tools such as Ekahau Site Survey.
LANCOM access points have a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), which is calculated from the device type and serial number and can uniquely identify the device in the network. However, encryption during UUID generation means that it is not possible to identify the device or serial number.
You can switch the transmission of the UUID on or off. This is possible in the device configuration with LANconfig under .
- Include LANCOM UUID
- Configures whether an access point transmits its UUID. The LANCOM UUID is used, among other things, as an Ekahau extension for combining multiple SSIDs into one access point.
