It is recommended that the AP allow the broadcast of ESSIDs to
simplify the configuration of SpectraLink 8000 Wireless Telephones.
SpectraLink terms this function Automatic Learn. If there are
overlapping WLAN areas at your site, the Automatic Learn function
may not work properly in the areas that receive signals from two or
more APs.
Sites with heightened security issues may not want ESSID
broadcast enabled. If it is not enabled, the ESSID must be
programmed into every handset.
