A beacon and Action frame are broadcasted. The SSID in the beacon is hidden (32-bytes with value 0). For [[#Scan]]/[[#ScanPrivate]] it doesn't matter if no beacon is available ([[#NetworkInfo]] is the same), as long as the Action frame is broadcasted. However, the Station will not send a probe-request during connection if no beacon is available (and therefore not attempt any communication with the AccessPoint).
During connection, the Station first sends a probe-request using the [[#NetworkInfo|generated]] SSID from the Action frame. If the probe-response contains the expected data for the [[#SecurityConfig]] type, the Station then proceeds to connect to the AccessPoint.
