Compex Systems WPE53G manual Set Virtual AP Multiple Ssid

Set Virtual AP (Multiple SSID)

Virtual AP implements mSSID (Multi-SSID) whereby a single wireless card can be setup with up to 16 virtual AP connections with different SSIDs or BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) and security modes.

Virtual AP delivers multiple services by VLAN segmentation: making the network think there are many SSIDs available and channeling each connection through different VLANs to the respective virtual network segments on the Ethernet network.

How it Works

When WLAN PC 1 connects to VAP 1 its packets are channeled to VLAN 10 group where only services connected to Port 2 and Port 3 are available to this wireless connection.

It is similar for WLAN PC 2 and WLAN PC 3. Although they connect to the same radio card as WLAN PC 1, WLAN PC 2 can only access the services available at Port 6 and Port 7 and WLAN PC 3 can only access the services available at Port 10 and Port 11.
