Configures whether an access point transmits its device name. To support WLAN site survey tools, the device name of the access point can be inserted into beacons. The name is identical for all radios of a multi-radio access point, so that the individual radios can be assigned to an access point by name.
The device name is coded as a vendor-specific info element as follows:
Tag: Vendor Specific: LANCOM Systems GmbH
Tag Number: Vendor Specific (221)
# 1 Byte (static value)
Tag length: 13
# 1 Byte (static length)
# In this case: 3 Bytes OUI + 1 Byte LCS Subtype + 2 Bytes LCS Version + 7 Bytes LCS Devicename
OUI: 00:a0:57 (LANCOM Systems GmbH)
# 3 Bytes (static value)
Vendor Specific OUI Type: 8
# 1 Byte (static length)
# LCS Subtype: 8 == Devicename
Vendor Specific Data: 080100544553542d4150
# Wireshark output comprising 1 Byte "Vendor Specific OUI Type" (0x08)
# In this case: 9 Bytes
# 2 Bytes (static value)
# LCS Version: 1 (little-endian)
# In this case: 7 Bytes
# ASCII encoded String
# In this case: 0x544553542d4150 == TEST-AP
