When the laptop is being used at work, the person must set the network location to
at_work in order to connect to the office network.
Conversely, the laptop must be set to the at_home network location when the person
is at home and wants to connect the laptop to the home network.
5.3.4 Network name (SSID)
A network name, or “Service Set Identifier (SSID)”, identifies a particular wireless
network. In order to operate on a network, a device must know the network's network
name.
A wireless network only has one network name.
A given location, such as an office, may have several wireless networks, each with
a different network name. Wireless devices use network names to identify
overlapping wireless networks.
Example
The printer is in an office with two wireless infrastructure networks. Each network
has a Wireless Access Point (WAP).
Note: In this example, both wireless networks have the same security settings.
