SSID
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a case-sensitive unique identifier attached to the header of
packets sent over a wireless local-area network. Each wireless network in your range will have
its own SSID. Consult with your IT department for the SSID.

Input the IP address of your system’s server that the MultiRAE is connecting to if you know it.
Check with your IT department for guidance on setting IP addresses for your system within a

department for guidance on server port settings.
