Sample SSID XML Data

Note  Wireless Provisioning Services (WPS) is no longer available as of Windows Vista.

The following is an example of SSID XML data.

This XML data defines two wireless networks, SampleSSID1 and SampleSSID2. Each network has a different authentication and encryption method.

The networks are also assigned different priorities, with SampleSSID2 given a higher priority than SampleSSID1. Because of this, the Wireless Zero Configuration service will choose SampleSSID2 for automatic connection if both wireless networks are visible.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<SSIDs>
    <ssid Name="SampleSSID1">
        <Priority>10</Priority>
        <Connection>ESS</Connection>
        <Authentication>Open</Authentication>
        <Encryption>WEP</Encryption>
    </ssid>
    <ssid Name="SampleSSID2">
        <Priority>11</Priority>
        <Connection>ESS</Connection>
        <Authentication>WPA</Authentication>
        <Encryption>CCMP</Encryption>
    </ssid>
</SSIDs>
